This video was filmed during our scuba diving trip with Triton Bay Divers Resort in January 2024. We aimed to dive with whale sharks, the big attraction in Triton Bay. These gentle giants are lured by the fish caught at floating fishing platforms called bagans, with dolphins often joining in as...

My spouse and I just booked a Liveaboard in Raja Ampat for the end of 2025. Does anyone have experience getting there from the US? Specifically from the East coast? All I know is we need to ultimately get to Sorong to catch the boat. Thanks for any suggestions! Myanna

Having explored the depths of Raja Ampat, primarily the Dampier Strait area, for several years, we sought an alternative dive destination in Indonesia to complement our underwater adventures. Intrigued by the allure of Triton Bay, we set our sights on this destination. Thus, in January 2024, we...

Mine and my husbands first time going to Indonesia! We're very excited but I'll be the first to say we're pretty lost on where we should prioritize our time. We have about two weeks mid-May that we will be there and would love suggestions on where we should go for scuba diving, (we aren't muck...

Here is a link to my new short video about great encounter with a very friendly cuttlefish in the Flores Sea in Indonesia during our liveaboard trip on the Seven Seas in September 2023. The cuttlefish displayed most of its 'color changing/camouflage' capabilities, which were spectacular. If...

My wife and I are headed to Indonesia soon for a live-aboard trip, and the operator has booked our domestic flights from Bali to/from the boat on Lion Air. We're both very used to traveling outside the US, so small carry-on bags and weight limits are nothing new. With that said, Lion Air seems...
