Weekly Dive Log #4: A Precious Encounter with Gentle Giants in Kaimana

Mar 25, 2026

A truly magical dive is an experience that stays with you forever.  

With so much of the ocean still unexplored, we feel incredibly lucky to share the water with some of the most precious creatures on earth. It is no secret that the true heart of any dive trip is the amazing marine life we get to meet.  

During our dive, we visited a Bagan. A Bagan is a traditional wooden fishing platform used by local fishermen. Since the early 20th century, locals have used these platforms as a sustainable, eco-friendly way to catch fish without destroying the environment. 

At one point, we had 5 whale sharks gliding around us at once, with about 20 to 30 dolphins happily swimming by to scoop up the small fish the whale sharks missed!
