Raja Ampat

Dive Site Map

Hopping aboard a Raja Ampat liveaboard is on the bucket list for many scuba divers and non-divers alike, and for good reason.

Home to the world’s most biodiverse coral reefs and more than 1,400 fish species, many would agree that the scuba diving in Raja Ampat is second to none. Throw its year-round warm water temperatures and stunning landscapes, you’ve got yourself a perfect paradise.

Exploring with a liveaboard in Raja Ampat is the best and most time-efficient way to enjoy the best diving spot, as this massive area is made up of 4 main islands—Misool, Salawati, Batanta, and Waigeo—as well as 1,500 small islands and cays.

Non-divers can equally enjoy Raja Ampat with its fantastic snorkeling, pristine beaches, fascinating views, and local villages, or by simply enjoying the serene good life on our Raja Ampat liveaboards.

MISOOL

If you’ve seen underwater photos of Raja Ampat Diving bursting with colorful soft corals, chances are they were shot at Misool. Soft corals aside, this island in South Raja Ampat offers amazing wide-angle dives with gorgonian fields and rich topographies, often featured in top Raja Ampat Liveaboard routes.

Misool is also known for its stunning mangrove forests, where soft corals can be seen on the mangrove roots!

The critter life in this area is also excellent, making this one of the best dive sites for macro and wide-angle underwater photographers.
