Our second Raja Ampat trip of the year.

Starting from Missols with an early dive. From far we could hear a school of Bumpheads
feeding on hard corals. The sun rays of an early morning shining over the wall making a beautiful contrast of natural lights over the reef, a perfect underwater background.

Out in the blue, hundreds of Big-eyed trevallies swim together making a tornado shape. Black tip reef sharks cruises by as we watch a stunning coral garden full of soft corals.
The Sea Mount dive site, an amazing cleaning station where Reef and Oceanic Mantas stoped by to be cleaned, so much action going on like Huge Napoleon Wrasses, Turtles and even dolphins that joined the club!

The sun sets, the moon rises, we get ready for a night dive. A curious Walking shark decides to interact with divers, a very rare and close moment! The boats reaches the north of Raja Ampat, a place for Frogfish, Nudibranchs and Pygmies. A wicked spot for those who loves macro photography!

Raja Ampat an outstanding destination…
