Raja Ampat's CHEAPEST Dive Trip! (Is It Worth It?)

Our Raja Ampat Scuba Diving Expedition continues as we leave Waisai to start our dive trip. We dive four of the region’s most iconic sites — Cape Kri, Sauwandarek Jetty, Crossover and Friwen Wall. These are among the most biodiverse dive sites in the world, famous for powerful currents, huge schools of fish, and pristine coral gardens. We also spend the night in a Kri Island homestay — the first base for exploring Raja Ampat’s underwater paradise on this 7 night expedition through the Dampier Strait. ✈️ Planning your next dive trip?
