Raja Ampat Regency

Raja Ampat Regency in Southwest Papua is famed for its pristine marine biodiversity and iconic korallenriff landscapes in the Halmahera Sea portion of the South Pacific. The region features crystal-clear tropical waters, gentle to strong currents, and a wide range of dive sites accessible from its four dive centers. While the Regency is sparsely populated along the coast, liveaboard access from Sorong and regional hubs provides convenient access to world-renowned reefs, muck dives, and diverse pelagic encounters. Notable ecosystems include dense hard coral gardens, manta and turtles on certain channels, and impressive macro life in sheltered bays. Conditions vary seasonally with warm, nutrient-rich water typical of tropical Indo-Pacific diving.
