Overview

Raja Ampat Archipelago located in West Papua Province of Indonesia is a unique place that every freediver dreaming about. 75% of all known coral species in the world, 1300 fish species, 13 species of marine mammals, 7 species of sea turtles, 700 species of mollusks, 57 species of marine shrimps. The landscapes of Raja Ampat are unique and scenic as well.

Taking a path from Bali island towards the East, crossing 2 time zones, travelers will find themselves on the western tip of New Guinea island, in West Papua province of Indonesia. Words can not really describe the pleasure of what you will have as a freediver during diving there: go out of your bungalow, while walking to the shore put on your mask and snorkel, put on the fins and you are ready to enjoy the richest underwater jungle. You don’t need to go far from your homestay, the home reef is a wonderful spot: sharks, humpheads, several species of rays, gracious mantas, turtles, dugongs, dolphins…all of them enjoying life among coral gardens colored in all known colors.

We will spend ten days on 3 different remote islands doing freediving training and exploring the underwater life of Raja Ampat as well as the land wonders of the archipelago. We are happy to welcome experienced freedivers as well as beginners because training programs will be planned according to your physical form and freediving experience. You will enjoy being underwater and interacting with thousands of sea creatures that we will see.

If you are not familiar with freediving but curious about your capabilities to naturally hold your breath underwater, this trip can become a unique opportunity to learn freediving and building a connection with the water.
