i Kevin & Stacey,
Warm greetings from Indonesian West Papua!
Still a long time to go until your Hidden Bays & Painted Rocks cruise with us, however we are in the midst of this years Raja Empat Triton Bay season, and I though I share with you some appetizers from our cruises so far
Triton Bay, underwater: forests of white sea fans, black coral, soft coral gardens, wobbegongs dazing away under rocks, all ghost pipefishes listed in the books, forests of garden eels, denise seahorses, napoleons, giant groupers
Triton Bay, above the waterline: the most amazing labyrinth of a lagoon you have ever seen and no human settlement near or far a truly out-of-this world experience
the mainland Papuan coast, underwater: seamounts in 3-10 meters of water alive with thousands of schooling fish 1,000 blue fusiliers among 300 rabbitfish hovering over 500 yellow surgeonfish with the general piece and quietness every now and then being stirred up by a few large trevally or mackerels chasing for dinner
the mainland Papuan coast, above the waterline: bats rising out of mushroom-shaped rocks at dusk, just when youre heading back to the vessel after a swim under a huge waterfall
Misool, both above and below: the most amazing wide angle shots one can imagine, picture-perfect reefs under water and picture-perfect karst islands covered in lush tropical rainforest, and of course the hidden lagoon at Farondi
Misool, under water: mantas without end (if were lucky we were on one of the cruises, and had 2 x 1hr+ with the mantas uninterrupted, all around us, there was no escape!!!), schooling barracuda, schooling mobulas
Dampier Strait, under water: dives that were so rich in fish that well traveled guests who had been to Micronesia, Tahiti, the Great Barrier Reef, the Red Sea, came out of the water and unanimously agreed: Best dive in my life
just meant to give you an idea of whats waiting there for you J
Kind regards
