This westbound expedition leaves Sorong, spends three days in Misool and then crosses the Halmahera Sea to finish in the Lembeh Strait. Between the two, Blue Pearl stops at Pisang Island, the Patinti Strait, the Goraichi Islands and Pulau Tifore, with a last day of diving in Lembeh before you disembark in Bitung.
You start with Misool's soft corals and lagoons at full intensity, then trade them for waters most divers never see. The Patinti Strait's pinnacles and channels hold big fish by day and the endemic Halmahera walking shark by night. Tifore's barracuda tornado sets up a final day in Lembeh, where the hunt shifts to frogfish, octopus and other black sand oddities.
