Diving in Raja Ampat Indonesia

Much has been said about the rich marine life at Raja Ampat situated west of Pulau Waigeo, just north-west of West Papua, Indonesia. As expected, accessibility to Raja Ampat is only by boat, after a long domestic flight to Sorong from Jakarta. It would probably be quite an adventure to try to cruise to Raja Ampat from Singapore. The journey of 2,000 nautical miles will take 8 days non stop cruising from Singapore at 240nm a day or 10kts SOA (Speed of Advance).    

Is Raja Ampat worth the arduous journey there. Watch this video and decide yourself.
