Hi! My wife and I are looking at trips in 2022. We have been diving in quite a few spots across Indonesia over the years but never made it to Raja Ampat.
If I could sum up our wild life preferences we LOVE macro / muck and pelagics (sharks, mantas, even blackwater). We don't care too much for coral and the smaller to medium sized fish. Maybe better said we love all things big and small but not much in-between.
We were weighing the pros and cons of doing a Liveaboard va a stay at Misool Eco Resort.
We are a bit younger and enjoy a bit more challenging dives. We love to fit in 4+ dives a day.
Right now we are not thrilled with the idea about living on a boat with strangers given covid concerns BUT it wouldn't be a deal breaker.
Would I be correct in assuming that a 9 to 10 day Liveaboard would likely present a more wide array of dive sites va MER?
How is MER for macro and muck? I assume its not as great as Tulamben or Lembeh for that interest but is it better than most other places (I realize that's a bit silly of a question?)
One final question : Has anyone successfully done a Misool to Ambon trip (or vice versa). Would we have to fly back to Jakarta and then all the way back?
Any insight on the above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance !
