DAMAI II

Raja Ampat is the center of global marine biodiversity, and this 7-night itinerary highlights the best of the northern archipelago and the Dampier Strait, with an excursion south to Misool. Diving encompasses coral gardens, seamounts swarming with schools of fish, manta cleaning stations, and soft coral walls, featuring iconic spots like Cape Kri, Blue Magic, Manta Sandy, Penemu, Boo, and Magic Mountain. The dives alternate between lively drift dives filled with marine life and calmer sessions focusing on smaller creatures, where you can search for pygmy seahorses and the endemic wobbegong. The trip to Penemu Lagoon and its stunning karst islets enhances the surface experience. It's a condensed yet comprehensive version of the destination, perfect for those with a week to focus on the best dive sites in Raja Ampat in a single journey. The itinerary takes place aboard the Damai II, the newest vessel in the fleet (2011), featuring satellite wifi and a television in each cabin.
