diving Raja Ampat

The coral reefs of Raja Ampat have the highest biodiversity worldwide making it one of the best dive destinations in the world. Not only the number of different species, also the pure amount of biomass in the water is just incredible, and can not be found anywhere else.
Always remember, we are all only guests in the underwater world. Many places in the world are already affected by global warming, pollution, but also from carless tourists damaging corals accidentally. Treat the coral reefs and other environments with respect

Well, best to see it now because I have a feeling the next few years are not going to be good for RA, environmentally speaking.

thx Shelley, of course a video is a video and reality sometimes is only 5 m visibility for one week. but on a good day it is like the video, even better. hopefully Raja Ampat is not affected by coral bleaching. and already to many tourists in the area.

Amazing video! In your video, there were so much more schools fishes than we saw in Raja 4. We seriously doublt we went to different place. When was your dive? Maybe some months have more fish than other months? Do you mind share the dive sites?

[@DOUBLED0581]

thx alot. i did alot of dives in Raja Ampat, also as a guide. I can just tell you, it really depends on the diving operator you choose on how good is the experience u gonna have. Because they need to do a good planing for the right time on a specific reef. Also u need always little bit of luck like everywhere in the world.

We are planning on going in April, but our budget is not that high, could you recommend us the best dive spots for you because we can't pick that much places... Also if you can recommend a company for the dives would be great. Thanks!

[@DOUBLED0581]

Hello Esteban, i really can recommend Corepen homestay if you not have a big budget. They have great dive guides. Their names are Sandi and Harry. And there are many top spots like Sardine Reef and Cape Kir just close by. If you come there dont worry. They will bring you to the good places. Just go there and enjoy. If you give me your email i send you his whattsapp contact

Hi Morten, is all around Waigeo

i have bad news. just one week ago, one England based cruise destroyed the coral area of 13.000 square meters around waigeo island just because the stupid captain couldnt wait until high tide, and stupid local goverment gave permit for very big cruise to enter the coral area. for some, it might be not big area, but for Raja Ampat that i love dearly, it hurts me to the core reading the news. damn, why people like to destroy nature. shame shame shameeeee.

I snorkeled Crossover Reef before and after the ship grounded there. The fact is, it was already mostly dead before the ship hit it, and afterwards, I couldn't identify the new damage, so all the hype and protests around that ship are based on a false reality. The ship grounding was an inexcusable 'accident', but the real damage is being done to Raja Ampat by anchors, divers - especially macro photographers, bomb fishing, the crown of thorns starfish, bleaching and water pollution.

[@fer1733]

I have been several times in R.A. and this guy is saying the real problem there. Also, the local homestays boats arriving to the beaches are destroying a lot of coral... A LOT OF every day in every beach... the jetties building, plastic burning etc etc.... It is very very sad and i have not watched anything about conservation or water patrols... Where is the entry fee money? I hope that the local people think well and they will try to conserve the environment or R.A. will be the next Maldives. Coral already gone from surface to 12 meters of deep.

The jewel and pride of every West Papuans. Today West Papua is an Indonesian colony. Colonialism is illegal under international law. West Papua has a legal right to be free.For more information on West Papua, check out the youtube below.The Act of free Choice, 1969, was a violation of the right of self-determination held by the West Papuan peoples under international law and does not justify Indonesian sovereignty over West Papua. Indonesia’s presence in West Papua is illegal and that this illegality is the basis for continuing conflict in West Papua. There should be a proper act of self-determination in accordance with international law, to settle finally the international status of West Papua. Indonesia’s presence in West Papua is that of a colonial administration which can be made permanent only if the peoples of West Papua vote for integration through a self determination exercise held in accordance with the procedural requirements of international law. The only self-determination exercise has been the invalid act of free choice held in 1969 which does not authorise Indonesia’s presence in West Papua and cannot legally convert Indonesia’s administrative responsibility to sovereignty. Indonesia’s acquisition of West Papua in 1969 remains an illegal annexation which cannot be validated by the international community since it was a violation of the sacred trust under the UN Charter. Since the acquisition cannot be validated, West Papua is not legally a part of Indonesia’s territory but a non-self-governing territory under occupation. Independence for West Papua would be the restoration of Papuan sovereignty and not a violation of Indonesia’s territorial integrity. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioXZpKOuo9Sog7s
