The Shallows of Raja Ampat are just awesome!

If you think Raja Ampat is a destination only for scuba diving you better think again ‘cos what you can find in the very shallows of this part of the World is something absolutely unreal! West Papua is One Coral Heaven for snorkelers and free divers.

Pristine hard corals, Sea fans sticking out of the water, stunning colourful soft corals growing on trees! Wait a moment? Corals growing on trees? Yes, the famous Mangroves of Raja Ampat where the water is warm & crystal blue. Shallow areas that are blanked with juveniles, crustaceans, baby sharks and even nudibranchs right beneath the water!

This snorkel trip was all about exploration with a whole different perspective! The freedom
feeling while floating on a magical underwater World is definitely a treat!
