Raja Ampat
Due to its exposed location and the resulting intactness of its underwater world, it is also called the "Last Paradise."
Starting from the Papua Paradise Eco Resort, we explore the nearby dive sites and make excursions to the sites around Kri Island and the Fam Islands. We find a wide variety of marine life, from small to large, colorful corals and currents, manta rays, and sharks.
I filmed with an iPhone 15p and a Go Pro 12 (4k, 60 fps, AWB) and a Mavic Mini 3 Pro.
The accommodation is among the more upscale and highly recommended. The open-plan design without air conditioning takes some getting used to - the clientele was more „honeymooners“. There is a pleasant jungle trail around the accommodation, and a kayak is a relaxing way to explore the surrounding area.
Diving routes initially lead to the sites near the accommodation; on the opposite island, there is a WWII airplane wreck. A few minutes further, we reach the center of the Dampier Strait with its spectacular dive sites and Manta Ray Point.
On a day trip, we head to the famous Fam Islands—surely one of the main attractions associated with Raja Ampat — where we find amazing corals and schools of fish.
