We will begin this amazing journey in Triton Bay – an area only surveyed by Conservation International in 2006 and with only one small resort. Few Liveaboards only just start to uncover the top of what is believed to be one of the most diverse and pristine areas in Indonesia. Named by some as, ‘the next frontier of diving’ there is nothing but thick rainforest, gorgeous inlets and uninhabited beaches, undisturbed by human activity.

There are sandy bottoms with huge boulders, covered in the most colourful soft corals and is considered to be even better than Raja Ampat The visibility can vary as the sites are between the islands bringing nutritious currents feeding these untouched corals.

On our way to Pisang Island, known for its pristine mini white sand beaches and fantastic diving. Next stop will be in Mommom, in the area of FAK-FAK, where we can enjoy one of the few waterfalls that empty into the sea coming from the leafiest jungle. Outstanding underwater seamount covered with schooling fish will be the first 2 dives in the morning.

Once we arrive in Misool you will be amazed by the diversity you will find here. An abundance of marine life, a variety of underwater seamounts, smaller pinnacles, coral walls and- coral gardens, covered in giant sea fans, soft corals in all colours, massive table corals and countless fish. The massive sea fans house the smallest seahorses. This is a great place to find the elusive epaulette shark, or walking shark. This nocturnal shark sneaks up on its prey by ‘walking’ closer and closer to it. It is also one of the few places in the world where we can find two species of manta rays on the same dive sites.

On our way to Sorong, Western Papua, we will explore the Dampier Strait. Here we can find huge amounts of nutrients from the Pacific Ocean bringing in bigger predators like giant trevallies, yellowfin tuna, rainbow runners and even some sharks like blacktip, grey reef, white tip sharks. Table corals prove a great hiding place for wobbegongs sharks.
