In January 2025, we returned to the Dampier Strait in Raja Ampat, staying once again at our favorite Sorido Bay Resort.
It was my first trip shooting with the Sony FX3 in a Nauticam housing, experimenting with S-Log3 Cine vs HLG3 and different white balance settings. Conditions added to the challenge — visibility was often poor, many corals showed signs of bleaching, and several sites were crowded.
Still, the ocean offered unforgettable moments. Manta rays made a welcome return to Blue Magic after nearly four years, and Melissa’s Garden stood out as our favorite site of the trip — vibrant, full of life, and untouched by bleaching.
