WaterRaja Ampat Islands, according to various sources, is one of 10 best waters for diving sites around the world. In fact, perhaps also recognized as number one for the completeness of flora and fauna under water at this time. Dr. John Veron, coral experienced experts from Australia, for example, in a site he revealed, the Raja Ampat Islands located in the the most western tip of New Guinea, about 50 miles northwest Sorong, has the best reef areas in Indonesia. Approximately 450 species of coral was identified during the two weeks of research in the area. A team of experts from Conservation International, The Nature Conservancy, and National Institute of Oceanography (LON) Institutions Indonesian Academy of Sciences (LIPI) have done a quick assessment in 2001 and 2002. The result, they recorded in these waters there are more than 540 hard coral species (75% of the total species in the world), more than 1. 000 species of reef fish, 700 species of molluscs, and the highest record for gonodactyloid stomatopod crustaceans. This makes 75% the world's coral species in Raja Ampat. Nowhere in The same area has a number of coral species as much as this.There are several areas of coral reefs are still very good condition with the percentage of live coral cover by 90%, ie in Dampier Strait (the strait between P. Waigeo and P. Batanta), Kofiau Islands, Islands and the South East Misool Wayag Islands. Types of reefs reefs in Raja Ampat is generally fringing reef with a contours up steep ramps.

If dive at Cape Kri or Chicken Reef, you can be surrounded by thousands of fish. Sometimes a collection of tuna, giant trevallies and snappers.But those tense when we are surrounded by a collection of barracuda fish, although in fact it's relatively harmless (which is dangerous if I'll see barracuda solitary or alone). Reef sharks are also frequently visible, and if lucky you could also see turtles being silent eat the sponge, or swim around you. In some places like in Salawati, Batanta and Waigeo also seen Dugong or sea cow. Because the area of many islands and narrow straits, then most diving at a certain time has a strong current. Case This allows also to do a drift dive, dive while the flow is tight with very clear water while through the collection of fish.
