Raja Ampat November 2016.
Diving in the Raja Ampat region.
Liveaboard from Bitun (Sulawesi) to Sorong (West Papua, New Guinea).
To arrive to Bitun I flew from Singapure to Manado and from there by road around 2hrs driving.
11nights 12 days sailing with the amazing Tiger Blue. I really recommend it.
The boat is fantastic, comfy to dive and sailing, the staff nice the food tasty and the manager Mr. Boum very professional www.tigerblue.info
I shared my room with Martin an Austrian guy, very funny; the rest of the group was composed to a Russian couple, five Frances and a Norway girl, 10 people in total.
In this liveaboard I got lucky, everybody was a special person.
I remember with happiness every single one: Marie and Patrick ( he gave to me a lot of good tips) are underwater biology, the doctor Jacques, Isabell, Kjerstin, Artem &Alina.
Thanks a lot for sharing with me this fantastic experience.
They gave to me amazing photos.
This area is famous for the micro; you can see so many nudibranchs and pigmy sea horses "bargibanti and papua". Of course the environment is fabulous with beautiful colors and you can meet mantas (spotted eagle ray, manta ray), sharks (black tip, walking, wobbegong) turtles, barracudas, schools of anchovies, giant moray, snakes banded and more and more……
The last two days I was sick, I had an ear pain and I decided to stop diving.
I missed Dampir straight one of the best dive site but it is better to be safe than sorry.
