have a check dive just outside Sorong Harbour. Lunch and dinner will be served during the

DAY 2 : DAMPIER STRAIT – PENEMU
The guests’ first dive is a check dive, Mioskon Island is a great place to do this and still be a
world class dive. Here the guests can get comfortable with their equipment, buoyancy and
refresh some basic skills. The Dampier Strait area has some of the most action packed diving
in Raja Ampat and guests can see fish, fish and more fish but it is also the area where the
saying ‘No Current = No Fish’ originated from. There are many dive sites to choose from but
Cape Kri, Chicken + Sardine Reef, Mikes Point and Mioskon are definitely on the schedule.
DAY 3 : PENEMU – KAWE
Fantastic examples of Raja Ampats diversity. The Penemu Islands are presently a new
Marine Protected Area (WWF). We shall dive at Reef Bayanggan, Melissa’s Garden which
has probably the best complete coral coverage you will ever see and Kerunemo Adik. After
your third dive we will take you on a tour of The Hidden Bay (includes a trek up Penemu Hill
for the amazing views of The Hidden Bay).

Late night moving to middle of Raja Ampat we will dive at Arborek. Here we will dive
Mayhem, Citrus Ridge and Gam Ridge followed by some snorkelling in the mangroves
looking for the Archer Fish and seeing the unique corals that grow in front of the mangroves
(normally corals grow 100m plus away from the mangroves), followed by a night dive at
either of the ridges, we will overnight in the mangroves.
