Re: indonesia diving i have been on a Liveaboard for 11 days cruise and the price was really good, it was 2300 $ including all food and soft drinks . Free Nitrox.
Beer and wine are available and quite expensive, as they have to be purchased from Sorong, which itself has to fly everything in from mainland Indonesia. Beer is around $3.50 a can and wine $35 a bottle. its prefered that you bring your own.
Laundry done for free, We visited four main areas on the 11 day cruise along western Papua in Indonesia: Raja Ampat’s Kri and Misool islands, Fak Fak and Triton Bay. All of these places are justifiably famous for jawdropping coral reefs and fish life. The Bird’s Head Peninsula of Western Papua (the sticky out bit in which Sorong is located) has been scientifically assessed to have the greatest marine biodiversity in the world. For divers, this means it’s an unparalleled experience in terms of the sheer overwhelming number of marine species you can spot whilst diving. Indeed, scores of new species have been discovered here, some so new they still don’t have names, and some so bizarre you’d think the scientists are making it up.
While Raja’s remoteness used to mean it was a deeply obscure destination, the word is now out. Hardly a month goes by without a rave review in one of the dive magazines. Despite requiring multiple flights on domestic Indonesian airlines to get there, Raja has seen a big growth in liveaboard and resort operators in the last couple of years.
Also with very comfortable wooden cabins with double or twin beds. Air conditioning. Marine toilets. Hot showers. Portholes.
If i tried to tell you all i will not stop, it was a non-forgetable trip.
Enjoy it budy and safe diving.
