Variety of dive sites, Price, Organization

Good diving in a very interesting area of ​​Raja Ampat

I recommend Putri Papua Positive aspects: Very friendly and helpful crew, excellent dive guides Otis and Fadly. Tasty food, adapted to European style. Small number of divers, there were 7 of us and this created a pleasant atmosphere. Excellent boat route from the southern part of Raja Ampat to the northern. Excellent organization of transfers from/to the airport, as well as communication with the staff. Hiking in local islands to viewpoints. Negative, but not critical, comments: In the rooms, the smell from the engine was quite strong. Rooms need some renovation.

Tauchparadies Raja Ampat

Traumhafte intakte Korallenriffe mit großen Fischschwärmen sowie Riffhaie. Weitere einzigartige Haie "Wobbegongs & Epaulette Haie". Kaum andere Taucher an den Spots. Verschiedene Landgänge unteranderem zu den Aussichten auf die kleine Inselgruppen für die Raja Ampat so bekannt ist.

Die Angelegenheit die nördlichen Tauchplätze. Die Landausflüge. Die unberührten Riffe.

This is a diving trip even better than my expectation！

The MV‘s capacity is 9 but luckily there were only 6 divers on the boat. All cabins have ensuite bathrooms and air conditioning.In general the food was tasty,fresh fruit or fruit juice was available everyday. We did 31 dives over the journey of 10 days and covered the south, north and central regions of Raja Ampat. Both 2 divemasters were local and knew the sites quite well. Sometimes there was smelling of diesel fuel in the lower cabins. The visibility was a little bit disappointing,probably 10-15 meters on average. There were millions of fish and the soft and hard corals , they would be gorgeous with more light coming through the water. Highlights included a swimming wobbegong shark, groupers, lots of mantas, school of snappers and many more. In conclusion we really enjoyed our time on the MV Putri Papua and thought that the crews were generally excellent.

Manta diving is easily the highlight of the trip although other dives including drifts and reef hooks to just enjoy the underwater world is a close second. A trip to the islands as seen on the 100,000 rupiah note is also a must-do. Night dives are also wonderful to see octopus, cuttlefish and small creatures hiding in the rocks during the day. The crew did a good job to ensure there is enough time for a lot of diving over the 10 days seeing that there are some distances to be covered by boat around the area.

The diving in the area is good and the dive scheduling was good with some island visits included. It will cover all the major dive sites. The crew was friendly to help out and help the divers with their gear, cabin was kept super clean by the young man and we got fresh juices every day.
