      Customer Review

      Unbelievable, incredible dive sites, experienced operator. The quality of the reef in the remote parts of Raja is amazing. Some of the best diving I’ve done. Dive team is on point, they know the sites well and you’ll get the most from each dive. Divers are appropriately grouped together on experience. Boat team only add to this, service is high standard, small touches like warm drinks after the nightdive, midday homemade cakes are well thought out. NB. South Missool, Raja Ampat trip. Impeccable reef, large pools of fish, good macro. Less large pelagic animals.” Recommended for: Huge biodiversity, great dive guide, perfect service from the crew.
