Raja Ampat, Papua Barat, Indonesia
June 21, 2010 – 1:35 pm
Just completed my first 2 dives here at Kri Island in Raja Ampat, indonesia. Having dived all around South East Asia over the past 20 years, I have not seen such an abundance of reef life before… Perhaps at Sipadan 20 years ago, only! But this area is huge… and I have only done 2 of the nearest and easiest so far. Can’t imagine what is in store for me. Will update each evening.

the third dive did not disappoint! current not as strong as expected. Black tip reef sharks, Pygmy seahorses, Barracuda, tervallys and loads, loads more. But most impressive is the sheer number of fish. Also today seen turtles, bumphead parrot fish, crocodile fish, a wobbegong… incredible amount of stuff. I had heard that Raja Ampat holds the record for marine biodiversity on a tropical coral reef, but this is almost too much!
