About Raja Ampat

Raja Ampat translates to 'Four Kings' — the four main islands dominating an archipelago of 1,800+ islands. The waters are the richest in marine biodiversity on Earth. Diving reveals kaleidoscopic coral gardens, schooling fish in impossible numbers, and megafauna encounters. The islands themselves are covered in dense tropical forest, with white-sand beaches and turquoise lagoons. This is adventure diving for experienced divers willing to tackle challenging conditions.
