Sea Safari 8 Liveaboard, Indonesia

Day 1:
Meet & greet at the airport. Group transfer to the port. Onboarding, meeting the crew & briefing. Check dive.

Day 2:
Penemu Island. Melisa’s garden, barracuda reef where you could spot a large school of Barracuda fish. Barracuda is a long oval-shaped reef that extends latitude and almost cantilevered over the northern point of Penemu Island. Perhaps nowhere else in Raja Ampat are the stony corals as vibrant and full of fish. There are at least three Tridacna clams located around the platform, all giants that have lived at Melisa’s for close to a century. Because the substrate at Melissa’s Garden is exceedingly delicate, absolute attention to good buoyancy is required. Dive: 3 day dives + 1 night dive.

Day 3:
Yanggefo Island. Mangrove Channel is a part of Yanggefo Island. There are three sites are located in the Mangrove channel such as Mangrove Ridge, Mangroves & Slope, and GA’s Flash. From the north to the south side, Mangrove Ridge is the most spectacular dive site. The north side of the Ridge is the most prolific with a good mix of soft corals, black coral trees, and sea fans. This site has excellent schooling Fusiliers and Surgeonfish. Sea fans also decorate the south side. Diving continues at Mangroves & Slope the west-southwest corner of Gam, where the luxuriant growth of soft corals and sea fans that have attached themselves to the mangrove roots and graze the surface at low tide can be seen. Dive in Yanggefo Island is not perfect without exploring the GA’s Flash. In the late afternoon, over the rubble patch at the base of the mangroves, male flashers court females by displaying their ornate fins and vibrant colors, while just beneath the surface schools of Archerfish hunt among the forest of Mangrove roots. Dive: 3 day dives + 1 night dive.

Day 4:
Airborek Island. In this site, you will found much more fish life, lovely Batu Laut’s hard corals and provide shelter for many interesting smaller animals like Hermit Crabs, flatworms, and Skeleton Shrimp. Manta Sandy and Manta Ridge are important to dive with an experienced guide who is familiar with these sites. These dives are two of the most reliable Manta congregation spots in the Dampier Strait. Here you can look at the majestic animals somersaulting through the water while they are cleaned by several species of Wrasse and even Butterflyfish. Mantas also come to feed on current-borne plankton. Without current, divers are not likely to see Mantas. Manta Ridge is usually much stronger than at Manta Sandy. Be careful when surfacing, as quite often there is a strong downdraft. At both sites, divers have witnessed the ‘’Manta Train ‘’ an event where a dozen or more Mantas follow each other head to tail through. Dive: 3 day dives + 1 night dive.

Day 5:
Dampier Strait. Before dive activities, trekking will be recommended. Show up on the dock at Sawingkrai Village on Gam for a dawn walk through the bush to observe striking Birds of Paradise. We then continue to Mike’s Point. Interesting macro subjects such as small octopus and shrimp thrive in these craggy coral niches. The other site we must dive in Sardine Reef. Actually, sardines are not found at this site but you won’t miss them. Fusiliers, surgeonfish, Trevally, Rainbow Runners, Sweetlips and Bannerfish crowd the open water and swarm over a reef decorated with sea fans, soft corals, and orange Elephant Ear Sponges encrusted with pastel colonies of tunicates. At sardine, a reef is common to hear ‘’Fish Thunder’’ the loud booming sound resulting from the rapid movement of a large amount of fish through open water. The day ends by exploring Mioskon, the amazing Dampier site. Hundred of lined snappers usually cover the slope, where the coral meets a sand bottom. Meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Dive: 2 day dives + 1 night dive + trekking.

Day 6:
The Passage. One of Raja Ampat’s most celebrated dives, The Passage is a winding waterway that separates Gam from Waigeo.This narrow river-like saltwater channel runs primarily east to west, stretching from Kabui bay to open ocean. Dive: 3 day dives + 1 night dive.

Day 7:

Day 7:
Kri island. Welcome to Cape Kri, located at Dampier strait east point of Kri Island. This site is one of the top dives discovered. Cape Kri probably has the largest concentration of big fish of any site in northern Raja Ampat. Kri Is is a great start of the day with most fish and coral species accounted on a single dive site. The others truly dive sites like South Kri and Chicken Reef offer an unforgettable diving experience where you could spot huge schools of a fish parade by barracuda and pale or blue tail surgeonfish patrol the reef top, while below schools of Trevally and fusiliers whiz past and encircle you. Dive: 3 day dives.
