Yes , I have to dive Alor again and for more time . I have had just a taste of that place . I have never been in Komodo .... but planned for next August 2024 ( ... finger crossed .. ) . I was in Halmahera ( Weda resort ) in 2019 : great experience . Here my album if...

the WOW factor in Raja Ampat are once again the incredible transition between the marine and terrestrial worlds , the school of fish so well "organized " and the wide seascape full of life . Here some photos from Raja Ampat :
