Dive into Raja Ampat

Dive Into Raja Ampat and Waivo dive resort on the island of Waivo have recently received a proper overhaul and are now a resort with really good facilities.andard. You get here by plane to Sorong and you are met at the airport and then take a ferry (hydrofoil) to Waivo Island. It takes about two hours in total. From there it is only a short transfer to this wonderfully located resort. The environment here feels close to nature and it is a little cooler under all the treetops that have been left standing. There is a rich birdlife and even birds of paradise are sometimes seen here.

A local cuscus sometimes comes to visit and usually pleases all visitors. The advantage of this resort, apart from the fact that it is very beautifully located on its own beach, is that you can go here any day of the week or back. All other resorts in the region have one or a maximum of two fixed travel days a week. This gives you much greater flexibility here with how long you want your diving holiday to be. It also makes it easy to combine with one live board.

Good accommodation with full board

The rooms are of three different sizes.andards. The most popular are the Waterfront villas and they are booked up well in advance so some more are being built. All rooms regardless have Western bathrooms and air conditioning. The resort has its own dive center, and here there is equipment and storage facilities. Lockable lockers and a new fresh camera room for UV photographers with plenty of charging and service facilities. There is also a large lovely restaurant building where you have full board and the food is consistently good and varied. There is a small local lounge area where you can sit and browse books. Or why not have a drink after the day's diving or just relax and socialize.

You can go to Dive into Raja Ampat all year round and dive, but the least windy part of the year is normally October - March. Rain can occur all year round, but that's what a tropical environment is and the temperature rarely goes below 27-28°C.

Combine with Sulawesi, Bali or Ambon

For those who wish to combine Raja Ampat with other activities, there is the option of flying to Sulawesi, Bali or Ambon relatively easily. This will give you even more varied diving or just time for some nice relaxation. The resort has, for example, a sister resort in Lembeh.
