INDO - RAJA AMPAT

Raja Ampat

The Queen Scuba will offer three different options to our guests during our Scuba Safaris to this world famous dive destination in Indonesia. The diversity of diving available, the huge area this marine reserve covers and the incredible array of divesites in this region mean that the more time you have to spend here the better!

We have provided the option for our guests to explore the entire Raja Ampat region from North to South over an incredible 13 day 12 night schedule.

For those who just do not have the time to spend two weeks exploring some of the best dive sites in the world we have provided the option of a 7 day 6 night cruise in either the North or South of this region.

All trips will begin and end in Sorong, the first leg of the trip exploring the Northen sites of Raja Ampat from the Dampier Straits through to the Northern islands of Fam, Kawe and Wayag before returning to Sorong to allow guests to depart or join the boat before leaving for the Southern sites of Raja Ampat which are mainly concentrated around the Island of Misool. Below is a sample schedule for these cruises, please be aware that due to the large area these trips cover and the huge choice of dive sites available to us this schedule should be used as a guide only and this itinerary is a sample. The actual itinerary will be similar but will vary with conditions during each trip. Strength and direction of current, weather, visibility and conditions will all be taken into account on each trip. Most divesites on Raja depend very much on the direction and strength of current, therefore each days schedule will be determined by the Captain and Cruise director to give you the best possible diving experience we can provide.


Raja Ampat North (20 dives)

Day 1
You will be met at your hotel in Sorong and transported to the Queen Scuba, boarding at approx. 13:00-14:00 where after being shown to your cabin and given a general orientation to the boat we will have the chance to enjoy a check out dive and late sunset dive close to Sorong at Bird's Head Peninsula. These dives are in calm water to facilitate organizing proper weight and to check all equipment is working correctly and also give us a chance to ensure that everyone is diving in groups of similar experience and ability. Not just a check out dive however as divers will have the chance to see baby Wobbegong Sharks, flasher wrasse, frogfish, multiple species of anemone fish, nudibranchs, seapens, stonefish, lionfish, bommies covered with crinoids and glassfish and plenty of nice schools of fish.

Dives: 2 dives today

Day 2

We will spend an amazing day diving around the Dampier Straits between Waigeo and Batanta islands where divesites such as Sardine Reef, which has been described as the best reef dive in the world, off Kri island will introduce you to the amazing variety of marine life on display in this region. In this area you can expect huge numbers of fish with dogtooth tuna and trevally packed so closely together they often block out the sunlight. Huge gangs of Bumphead parrotfish, snappers and fusiliers make it impossible to know where to look. At Mike’s Point it is possible to find pygmy seahorses and all manner of critters, but trying to take your eyes away from the unbelievable schooling life is a real challenge in these parts! Chicken Reef and Cape Cri continue the amazing diving with tornados of huge barracuda a favorite sight here Grey reef sharks, blacktips and whitetips can also be seen along with the wobbegong waiting in ambush on the sea floor.

Dives: 4 dives today

Day 3
Just incase you wake up with the idea that yesterdays diving was all just a dream an early morning dive at the Southern end of Waigeo island will give us a chance to dive one of Raja Ampat’s most famous divesites The Passage lying between Waiego and Gam island.This is a truly unique divesite and one worth visiting more than once Described by Andrea Ferrari in Wetpixel 2007: “A five meter deep, river-like sea fjord, snaking inside the forest, the tree canopies often closing above it, strange purple sponges and gigantic orange sea fans almost reaching over the surface, the sea and sky mirroring each other. A mystical place, rich in silent grottoes, underwater passages, submerged tunnels leading to still underwater pools hidden inside the forest, sun rays slanting down in the green darkness, like light shining through a cathedral’s multicolored widows... Yes this is heaven for me. Welcome to the Passage. Welcome to Raja Ampat.” Above water the sheer limestone cliffs make this a place where the sightseeing above water is also excessively beautiful. South West of Waigeo Island we can find two large Manta cleaning stations where huge Black and White Manta’s, some exceeding 5 meters, come to clean for hours at a time, an incredible days diving!

Dives: 4 dives today

Day 4

Kawe Island is one of the few areas in the world where it is possible to dive in both hemispheres without moving the boat! Dive sites such as Eagle Rock and Black Rock attract not only abundant fish life but also feeding manta rays and larger pelagic for photographers with wide angle lens’! Further North at Wayag Island we can look out for grey reef sharks patrolling the current rich waters along hard coral gardens and sloping walls decorated with sea fans soft corals and thousands of reef fish.

Dives: 4 dives today




Day 5

Spending the day at the Fam Island group you will discover a true paradise both above and below the warm clear blue waters of the area. Unblemished coral gardens of hard and soft corals are found at every point of the shallows. Ancient giant clams, now rare elsewhere in the world, can be easily found at dive sites such as Melisa’s garden and Yebeh Kecil. The Fam Islands are the very definition of paradise. White limestone cliffs plunge into the sea, ultramarine blue lagoons nestled next to monumental towers and pinnacles, untouched beaches... there are many places that claim to be this beautiful, this is the genuine article. The Air Borei Jetty is also an incredible dive that most divers will want to explore more than once and nearby Manta point also gives us the chance to find more manta’s!

Dives: 4 dives today

Day 6
