Kabupaten Raja Ampat

Kabupaten Raja Ampat in Papua Barat Daya offers some of Indonesia's most famous sea diving areas, centered around pristine reefs, vibrant coral gardens, and prolific biodiversity. While the region itself is administrative, its coastal waters access the Halmahera Sea and adjacent Indonesian seas, making boat-based excursions common from Selat Sagawin and nearby hubs. Expect clear tropical waters, strong currents in certain sites, and encounters with resident reef fish, macro life, and possibly pelagics on deeper drift dives. The area is best known for liveaboard access to outer reefs and relatively pristine habitats within reach of local dive centers.
