What an amazing trip with 4 lovely guests from New York, DivePhotoGuide's Mr. Turtle, the cutest puppy called Max for 10 days of adventure with Pygmy SeaHorses, over 15 Wobblegong Sharks, Blacktip Reef Sharks and Magical Manta Rays! Worldwide Dive and Sail's Mandarin Siren proved to be a beautiful personal vessel taking just six people to experience the magic that Raja Ampat offers and the crew went over and beyond to offer a superb, personal service.
Special dive sites visited included the breathtaking area of Misool, the area of Dampier Strait to experience Cape Kri and the area of Miskon, as well as Citrus Ridge which blew me away! Night-dives included experiences with a Blue-Ringed Octopus and the range of both macro and wide-angle subjects were amazing. With so many species of fish and invertebrates and many of them unidentified still, it was extremely difficult to know exactly where to point a camera. One of my cameras in fact, passed out on Day Two at the shock of seeing so much marine life there to photograph!
Raja Ampat is definitely a top and well-deserved hot-spot for underwater photographers and I simply can't wait to get back there to capture more underwater magic.
So many thanks again to Worldwide Dive and Sail and all the crew for the most amazing time. Can't wait to see you all again!
