This 11-day, 10-night loop from Sorong takes in the whole spread of Raja Ampat in one trip. You start in the Dampier Strait around Kri, Mansuar and Arborek, head north via Yanggefo to Kawe on the Equator and the karst lagoons of Wayag and Piaynemo, then cross south to finish among the walls, caves and lagoons of Misool before returning to Sorong.
Most dives start with a backward roll into blue-green water and a gentle drift along slopes so packed with coral and fish that it is hard to know where to look first. Schools swirl overhead, sea fans lean into the current, and a slow look under ledges turns up shy residents you would miss at speed. Topside the days are spent on still water between limestone islands, with sweaty hikes rewarded by long views and evenings that fade from orange to stars over the anchorage.

- Manta cleaning stations at Manta Sandy or Manta Ridge, and the Eagle Rock mantas at Kawe on the Equator
- Current-swept Dampier Strait reefs: Cape Kri, Sardine Reef and Blue Magic
