Question Help with deciding a land based dive resort in Raja Ampat.

I ordered the Thermacell EX90, great idea, thanks! Should keep the room mosquito free at night.

don’t forget about the refills!

We also travel with a portable fan..it really helps if you need it. Just a fold-flat fan that can be powered by a power bank or via a usb charger. It also is great for keeping mosquitos away if you suspect an issue!

Some of the best travel gadgets are found in the camping category of shopping. I have this fan, got it from Amazon, and it's sturdy for packing in your luggage but not heavy. It doesn't fold. I usually have it in my backpack for use on the sardine-packed and hot planes.

Another fan lover!

We have this one! Koonie USB Fan, Strong Wind Ultra Quiet Small Desk Fan 220° Tilt Folding 3 Speeds Adjustable USB-C Corded Powered Personal Fan for Home Office Desktop Black https://a.co/d/30gzrk0

It’s super flat and light and props up on its own stand which is also adjustable.

And it's great for putting a bit of a breeze on damp gear at the end of the trip!

Can recommend Papua Paradise as well as Papua Explorer. The latter is closer to the most famous Dampier Strait's location. The former is more chill and a bit more luxurious.

How does the food compare between Papua Paradise and Papua Explorer? We are snorkellers... It seems Papua Paradise is a bit more expensive than Papua Explorer.

Both are good. Papua Paradise a bit better. But they are (or were, it's been several years since our stay at Papua Explorers) close enough that I wouldn't let food be a deciding factor.

I can help with this. DM me. There are homestays available 25-30 Euros a night including all food and diving for 30:Euros a dive. It doesn't have to break the bank at all.
