This is a limited offer to Raja Ampat, located in a wondrous ocean that's said to have been governed by 4 kings. Known for the world's richest and most vibrant coral reefs, you'llsee a variety of species here including endemic ones such as the rare black manta ray and new types of walking shark.
Raja Ampat is an archipelago east of Indonesia. It comprises over 1,500 islands. Its main ones are the big islands of Misool,Salawati,Batanta and Waigeo. Four kings are said to have governed these islands and so the name Raja Ampat, meaning The Four Kings, was given. Raja Ampat is home to a stunning underwater world, so much so that marine survey teams have suggested that the sea is the world's richest in terms of marine life diversity. The northwest monsoon blows between January and March and the southeast monsoon months are between July and September, but because many of the dive sites are sheltered from rough seas, you can enjoy diving year-round (the best season is between December and March).

Because Raja Ampat is remote and difficult to visit, it's home to pristine, untouched nature. The marine life is extremely diverse, with 1,508 species of fish, 537 different corals and 699 invertebrates. This diversity is said to be the highest in the world. Regarded as one of the world's leading dive areas, it's a place that divers long to visit.

The topography of Raja Ampat is unique. Three tectonic plates - the Pacific Plate, Australian Plate and Eurasia Plate -- converge there. It's famous for its many rich coral reefs. It is said that 75% of the world's coral reefs live there, creating a rich ecosystem that acts like a cradle, sustaining the marine life. Coral bleaching, which has affected large amounts of coral worldwide, has had almost no impact on Raja Ampat, possibly because of the flow of the currents or the ability of the coral to withstand this. This means that you'll see some stunning coral reefs and soft coral spread out before you.

The beauty of Raja Ampat is being able to enjoy an extremely diverse sea that contains all varieties of marine life from large creatures, groups of fish, macrolife and topography. Pristine coral reefs and soft coral spread out before you at every dive site and a range of big and small fish swim around vibrantly. Dive sites with strong currents are home to colourful fish such as double-lined fusiliers and yellowtail blue snappers that come and go, and you'll also enjoy some dynamic scenes of huge migratory fish such as giant trevally and bluefin trevally attempting to catch them. There are also sites where manta rays gather, with a chance to spot the black manta with its black belly. Raja Ampat also has plenty of endemic species, and you'll see some rare ones that can only be seen during night dives, such as the walking shark and the wobbegong shark that looks like a Japanese wobbegong.
