Tifore Island is a small island between Halmahera and Lembeh with a submerged reef, where there is a very fishy reef with the possibility to encounter schooling of Barracudas, Jackfish, Batfish and Snappers. Cruise overnight to Goraici Islands.
Located on the west coast of Halmahera. The Goraici Islands have beautiful white sandy beaches with small villages, amazing reefs and pinnacles. Colourful soft coral in the deeper parts and hard coral gardens in the shallows. Cruise overnight to the Strait of Patintie.
We will spend the next two days in the south of Halmahera. Here, two large pinnacles break the surface and are excellent dive sites due to the amount of schooling fish as well as the healthy state of the soft corals. Strong currents here will dictate when you will dive. We will cruise overnight to the Pulau Pisang.

These two islands and two small rocks between Misool and Halmahera are the perfect spot to spend the day diving in sloping reefs full of soft and hard coral bommies. When the currents are running, the dive sites can be very fishy, and possible to see dogtooth tunas passing by. Cruise overnight to Misool.
Misool is the southernmost island in Raja Ampat and it is surrounded by several hundred small islands and rocks. Some of the most beautiful soft coral reefs in the world are located here. Many of the dive sites around Misool are just as fishy as the ones in the Dampier Strait, with some schools of barracudas, batfish, snappers, and fusiliers. Not only that, Misool is also a great macro destination. Known as the kingdom of the pygmy seahorse. Cruise overnight to Dampier Strait and Fam Islands.

During these days we will be in Dampier Strait and Fam Islands, which are located between Waigeo and the Bird’s Head Peninsula. Along with Misool, the most famous area for diving is Raja Ampat. All of the dive sites around the Dampier Strait and Fam Islands are known for a huge amount of schooling fish and Coral Gardens where you get to see reef sharks and wobbegong sharks among others. Some of the
best manta dives are also located in the Dampier Strait. And of course, cannot forget the dive sites at some of the jetties in front of local villages, where the pillars are covered in soft corals and are home to small critters.
