Raja Ampat 10 night itinerary
Departing from Sorong the Indo Master cruises southwards towards Misool, stopping for “muck” dives on the dark sand slopes of Batanta where it’s critters galore! You will then spend up to 3 days diving a variety of sites in the Misool area for their stunning corals, including Boo Windows and Gorgonian Passage. You will then head northwards to Fam Penemu & Yangeffo islands where you will find one of Raja’s best dive sites, Citrus Ridge! There is time for snorkelling in the mangroves and a visit to tiny Airborek Island along with a dusk dive at the pier before heading on to Mansuar Island for some Manta action at Manta Sandy. Next you will visit the Dampier Strait, famed for its high voltage dives and incredible species diversity. Here all levels of the food chain are well represented – from Pygmy Seahorses to schooling pelagic fish and Sharks. The most famous sites include Cape Kri and Sardine where speedy drifts can be expected. The reefs in Raja Ampat just buzz with life! Mantas, Wobbegong Sharks and Papuan ‘Walking Sharks’ can all be found in the waters of the Four Kings!
Komodo National Park 10 night itinerary
The first stop on Indo Master’s Komodo itinerary is the muck dive spot of the “Unusual Suspects”, in Bima Bay. You will spend the night there before sailing on to Sangeang Island with its dark volcanic sand or Gili Banta. By the third day you will be diving inside the Komodo National Park in the areas of Gilli Lawa Laut and Batu Bolong where strong currents can be experienced, bringing with them Grey Reef and Whitetip Reef Sharks and schools of Snappers and Fusiliers. Indo Master visits either Rinca or Komodo to make a walk with the Komodo Dragons before cruising southwards to Nusa Kode and Horseshoe Bay where there are numerous dive sites including Cannibal Rock, Torpedo Alley and Yellow Wall. Across the strait on the south of Komodo Island you spend the day diving the aptly named Manta Alley before returning northwards once again to dive sites that were not visited during the southward journey.
