There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

M/V Pindito has three highly experienced dive guides to dive around the most biodiverse coral reef ecosystems of the planet.
There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

M/V Pindito has three highly experienced dive guides to dive around the most biodiverse coral reef ecosystems of the planet.
There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

Pindito offers six double cabins and two twin cabins, creating very comfortable accommodations for up to 16 guests. All cabins are en-suite and provided with individually controlled air conditioning and daily housekeeping service. Fresh towels in the cabin and on deck are included. The 5-star service extends to the dining room where passengers are served delicious, international cuisine prepared by expert chefs.
M/V Pindito operates diving cruises in some of the best diving destinations of the world including Raja Ampat, Komodo, Ambon, Alor and many places in between. Guests can enjoy four hassle-free dives per day. The dive deck offers enough space for all divers, with a freshwater shower, rinse tanks and gear storage. With three spacious Zodiacs, all the stunning dive sites can be reached easy and comfortable. M/V Pindito has three highly experienced dive guides to dive around the most biodiverse coral reef ecosystems of the planet.
There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

M/V Pindito has three highly experienced dive guides to dive around the most biodiverse coral reef ecosystems of the planet.
Our guests will board the ship in Maumere on the big island of Flores in Eastern Indonesia. Most likely the Pindito will sail directly overnight towards Alor to dive the area around the islands of Kumba, Ternate and Pura (which all lie in the Pantar Strait). In the following days, the cruise continues on to the islands of Marisa, Kawula, Solar and Adonara before heading back to Maumere.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Alor & Kumba
On the island of Kumba, there is a spectacular volcano that contributes to some of the most gorgeous sunsets and sea vistas in this exotic destination. The surrounding waters harbor food-rich currents and cool waters (70-75 degrees), fantastic conditions for encounters with larger marine animals. White-tip and grey reef sharks, giant groupers, mantas, mola-mola, and whale sharks can be spotted around Kumba Island. Due to the volcanic activity, you can also see streams of bubbles dramatically rising from the sand and surrounding reef.
In Alor you can see young goggle-fishermen as they free-dive bare-footed, peering through homemade goggles to check their bamboo fish traps (sustainable small-scale fishing). Giant barrel sponges, fragile finger corals, huge boulder corals, flowing schools of glassfish, sweetlips, emperor angelfish, countless cleaning stations, and more, paint the underwater landscape of Alor as you swim along her pristine reefs.
Above water keep your eyes open for whales. In the past, we have encountered blue whales and orcas!
On Alor, you will have an opportunity to visit a local village. Here there are still local rituals that are practiced regularly. Visit the local market, where people sell everything from fresh exotic fruits, seafood, spices, handicrafts and clothing. The locals are very friendly and their smiling faces welcome visitors coming to their islands.
Buaya, Ternate & Pura
These small islands are situated in the Pantar Strait between Alor and Pantar. The water here at some dive spots like “The Bullet” or “Sharks Galore” can get really cool (70-72F). We highly recommended that our divers use a 5-7mm wetsuit here and for some, a hood provides welcome warmth. But with the cool waters comes the opportunity of pelagics and riotous marine-life richness.
There are also a couple of beautiful critter spots with mating mandarin fish, cryptic crawling Ambon scorpionfish, pensive Pegasus sea moths, secretive seahorses and unusual crustaceans. One of the highlights of these dives are the bamboo shark sightings, a species found in very few other places in the world. Above water, you can see whales and dolphins and with a little luck, you can spot pilot whales and whale sharks.
Pantar & Marisa
Around these small islands, you should keep your eyes open for octopus. Along the seabed move “close and slow” as you scan for mimic octopus, wunderpus, and the blue-ringed octopus. Also, look for various scorpionfish species including Rhinopias. Next, watch out for flying gurnards sneaking around the black sand landscape. Nestled in small sea fans, hydroids or crinoids, you can spot ghost pipefish, skeleton shrimps, decorator crabs, commensal shrimps and angling frogfish. The black sand provides welcome contrast for the vivid colors of the otherwise cryptic critters and it guarantees images that “pop”!
Kawula
Kawula offers the perfect habitat for muck critters. The visibility may be limited to 25ft, but these sites are meccas for frogfish, seahorses, rare scorpionfish, pipefish, and commensal crustaceans.
Solor
In Solor you may get the chance to visit the small village “Lamalera”, which is located in a little bay close to an old volcano. It is an extremely unique and traditional way of sustenance hunting that brings us to this village.
Lamalera may be the only place in the world where the locals go whale hunting using traditional methods. The methods are ancient and are passed on from generation to generation. The villagers sail out to the sea in their wooden dug-outs and hunt for sperm whales with simple bamboo spears. Occasionally they are successful, and when this rare event occurs the meat is shared throughout the village providing the rare necessity of protein for these people.
We would like to advise our guests, that the visit of the village depends on the villagers. Should the visit not be possible, an alternative program will be offered. The whale hunting is part of the local tradition and has nothing to do with commercial fishing. The visit is optional and every guest has the choice to do an alternative program.
This area also has some amazing diving. We have spent some time exploring new places and have discovered pristine beautiful reefs, that are super fishy, lots of reef sharks and with occasional big stuff passing by.
Adonara
Many colorful species of corals and textured sponges adorn these lovely reefs. The 3-D structure forms a rich habitat for a diverse fauna of coral reef species. Adonara sites are also notable places to see and film pygmy seahorses clinging to the gorgonian sea fans whose polyps and coloration the pygmies have evolved to match perfectly. You will also see schools of snappers, sweet lips and giant trevallies along the drop-offs. Keep an eye out for sea turtles, manta rays, reef sharks and other pelagics as you approach reef points and buttress edges.
Maumere
We may finish this cruise with dives in “Muck Central”… Maumere (on the island of Flores). Pindito is the original pioneer of this sleepy Indonesian fishing port that teems with cryptic odd-balls including frogfishes, Ambon Scorpionfishes, leaf-fishes, mercurial schools of venomous catfishes, mandarin fishes, seahorses, giant pen shells in black coral hedges under the town pier, bunches of purple tunicates, harlequin shrimps and so on. This is an awesome place for you to film cool critters. And here you can fill up the final bits of digital memory in your reserve and you can create memories that will fuel your imagination for years to come.
Since storms can be encountered in the tropics even during the best travel time of the year, the Pindito takes the right to alter the cruise itinerary on short notice if necessary.

With over 25 years of experience, the 38m luxury M/V Pindito is the pioneer of liveaboard diving in Indonesia. Lovingly built to the highest standards with her thoughtfully laid out floor plan and smooth sailing. 17 friendly and knowledgeable crewmembers offer 5-star service to ensure guests are comfortable and satisfied. Pindito offers six double cabins and two twin cabins, creating very comfortable accommodations for up to 16 guests. All cabins are en-suite and provided with individually controlled air conditioning and daily housekeeping service. Fresh towels in the cabin and on deck are included. The 5-star service extends to the dining room where passengers are served delicious, international cuisine prepared by expert chefs.
M/V Pindito operates diving cruises in some of the best diving destinations of the world including Raja Ampat, Komodo, Ambon, Alor and many places in between. Guests can enjoy four hassle-free dives per day. The dive deck offers enough space for all divers, with a freshwater shower, rinse tanks and gear storage. With three spacious Zodiacs, all the stunning dive sites can be reached easy and comfortable. M/V Pindito has three highly experienced dive guides to dive around the most biodiverse coral reef ecosystems of the planet.
The tour may start or end in Benoa, Bali or Maumere and heads through the middle of the Komodo National Park. Most of the time is spent around the islands of Banta, Komodo and Rinca. You also visit the smaller islands of Gili Lawa Laut and Tatawa Besar. The ship also may stop at the island of Moyo and Sangeang.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Sangeang
A definite highlight of the dive site is the hot underwater springs. These send up gas bubbles from the black sand forming a magnificent contrast to the huge black corals and sea fans. If you look closely here you can find pygmy seahorses on the sea fans. Other places around the island, such as Masuk Sungai, Bohon Mera and Tanjung Barat offer fascinating dives. Soft and hard corals are fighting for the best places, countless nudibranchs, pipefish, frogfish, seahorses and cuttlefish can be admired.
On the island itself, there are two active volcanoes, the Doro Api and Doro Montoi. At the hot and dry coastal area, savannah-like grasslands have formed with shrub vegetation. From the deck of the Pindito, you can regularly observe large water buffalo grazing. Due to the volcanic origin, the sand is black, which offers a stunning contrast to the remaining vegetation, both above and below water.
Banta
Banta has two of the most famous dive sites, the “Banta Wall” and the “GPS point”. With regular strong currents in the open water, these dive sites are just for big fish encounters. With a little luck you will find swarms of surgeonfish, red snapper, mackerel of all kinds, and of course barracudas, white tip sharks and grey reef sharks. If you like adrenalin rushes, the “Highway to Hell” will top this experience with a roller coaster dive. This beautiful wall surprises ever again with its varying strong currents. For lovers of night-dives “Critters” is a highlight of the tour! Here, all the animals “hang” out in the sand: hunting lionfish, stonefish and wandering octopuses. The stars of the evening, however, are the Stargazers who bury themselves almost unrecognizable in the sand, waiting to be discovered.
Rinca & Komodo
The waters around Rinca are fairly cool for this part of the world and can drop to 22 C degrees. A 5-7mm wetsuit is strongly recommended to enjoy the beauty of Horseshoe Bay. The “Yellow Wall of Texas” and “Cannibal Rock” are world-famous sites. They offer many colorful soft corals and feather stars in a small space. Every millimeter is overgrown and invigorated, you can spend hours admiring and enjoying them, if only there were not so many fish to obstruct your view!
Another highlight of the tour is, of course, a visit to the Komodo dragons! The Komodo dragon lives exclusively in Indonesia and has a maximum length of 3 meters and weighs more than 70kg. It is the largest living lizard. Due to the enormous size, they are referred to as the “dragon”.
Accompanied by a park ranger, our tour through the National Park starts early in the morning. Not only can you see dragons at close range, but can also observe macaque monkeys, wild boar, deer and water buffalos. With a bit of luck, we can watch lizards eating. Their saliva is poisonous and their bites kill quickly. The otherwise rather sluggish animals are very active when they hunt and to track their prey. They can reach enormous speeds for up to 15 seconds. Younger lizards prefer rodents and birds, adult lizards can kill bigger animals like deer, wild boars, macaques, snakes, wild dogs and horses. From a hilltop, one has a fantastic view over the valleys and the large bay where Pindito will be on anchor.
Tatawa Besar & Gili Lawa Laut
The small island of Tatawa Besar is located to the north of Rinca which means warmer waters! The island always has some slight current. It is perfect for a relaxing drift dive along the approximately 1km long island. You drift very relaxedly along a slanted slope that is covered with beautiful yellow and orange soft coral. With a bit of luck, Mantas can be seen here.
“Karang Tokto” and “Batu Batu Dekat” at Gili Lawa Laut are first-class dive sites. These are two drop-offs that are perfect for divers. You’ll be taken in by the amount of fish in the water and hardly have time to notice the stunning beauty of the surrounding reefscape. Again the whole array of pelagic fish will come in from jacks in all shapes and forms to white tip and grey reef sharks.
Flores
The port of Maumere is an amazing and diverse dive area. Discover various pipefish and seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish, various, countless colorful nudibranchs, as well as barracuda and batfish. The Pindito crew calls this dive site “blue water muck diving”!
Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

Our guests will board the ship in Maumere on the big island of Flores in Eastern Indonesia. Most likely the Pindito will sail directly overnight towards Alor to dive the area around the islands of Kumba, Ternate and Pura (which all lie in the Pantar Strait). In the following days, the cruise continues on to the islands of Marisa, Kawula, Solar and Adonara before heading back to Maumere.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Alor & Kumba
On the island of Kumba, there is a spectacular volcano that contributes to some of the most gorgeous sunsets and sea vistas in this exotic destination. The surrounding waters harbor food-rich currents and cool waters (70-75 degrees), fantastic conditions for encounters with larger marine animals. White-tip and grey reef sharks, giant groupers, mantas, mola-mola, and whale sharks can be spotted around Kumba Island. Due to the volcanic activity, you can also see streams of bubbles dramatically rising from the sand and surrounding reef.
In Alor you can see young goggle-fishermen as they free-dive bare-footed, peering through homemade goggles to check their bamboo fish traps (sustainable small-scale fishing). Giant barrel sponges, fragile finger corals, huge boulder corals, flowing schools of glassfish, sweetlips, emperor angelfish, countless cleaning stations, and more, paint the underwater landscape of Alor as you swim along her pristine reefs.
Above water keep your eyes open for whales. In the past, we have encountered blue whales and orcas!
On Alor, you will have an opportunity to visit a local village. Here there are still local rituals that are practiced regularly. Visit the local market, where people sell everything from fresh exotic fruits, seafood, spices, handicrafts and clothing. The locals are very friendly and their smiling faces welcome visitors coming to their islands.
Buaya, Ternate & Pura
These small islands are situated in the Pantar Strait between Alor and Pantar. The water here at some dive spots like “The Bullet” or “Sharks Galore” can get really cool (70-72F). We highly recommended that our divers use a 5-7mm wetsuit here and for some, a hood provides welcome warmth. But with the cool waters comes the opportunity of pelagics and riotous marine-life richness.
There are also a couple of beautiful critter spots with mating mandarin fish, cryptic crawling Ambon scorpionfish, pensive Pegasus sea moths, secretive seahorses and unusual crustaceans. One of the highlights of these dives are the bamboo shark sightings, a species found in very few other places in the world. Above water, you can see whales and dolphins and with a little luck, you can spot pilot whales and whale sharks.
Pantar & Marisa
Around these small islands, you should keep your eyes open for octopus. Along the seabed move “close and slow” as you scan for mimic octopus, wunderpus, and the blue-ringed octopus. Also, look for various scorpionfish species including Rhinopias. Next, watch out for flying gurnards sneaking around the black sand landscape. Nestled in small sea fans, hydroids or crinoids, you can spot ghost pipefish, skeleton shrimps, decorator crabs, commensal shrimps and angling frogfish. The black sand provides welcome contrast for the vivid colors of the otherwise cryptic critters and it guarantees images that “pop”!
Kawula
Kawula offers the perfect habitat for muck critters. The visibility may be limited to 25ft, but these sites are meccas for frogfish, seahorses, rare scorpionfish, pipefish, and commensal crustaceans.
Solor
In Solor you may get the chance to visit the small village “Lamalera”, which is located in a little bay close to an old volcano. It is an extremely unique and traditional way of sustenance hunting that brings us to this village.
Lamalera may be the only place in the world where the locals go whale hunting using traditional methods. The methods are ancient and are passed on from generation to generation. The villagers sail out to the sea in their wooden dug-outs and hunt for sperm whales with simple bamboo spears. Occasionally they are successful, and when this rare event occurs the meat is shared throughout the village providing the rare necessity of protein for these people.
We would like to advise our guests, that the visit of the village depends on the villagers. Should the visit not be possible, an alternative program will be offered. The whale hunting is part of the local tradition and has nothing to do with commercial fishing. The visit is optional and every guest has the choice to do an alternative program.
This area also has some amazing diving. We have spent some time exploring new places and have discovered pristine beautiful reefs, that are super fishy, lots of reef sharks and with occasional big stuff passing by.
Adonara
Many colorful species of corals and textured sponges adorn these lovely reefs. The 3-D structure forms a rich habitat for a diverse fauna of coral reef species. Adonara sites are also notable places to see and film pygmy seahorses clinging to the gorgonian sea fans whose polyps and coloration the pygmies have evolved to match perfectly. You will also see schools of snappers, sweet lips and giant trevallies along the drop-offs. Keep an eye out for sea turtles, manta rays, reef sharks and other pelagics as you approach reef points and buttress edges.
Maumere
We may finish this cruise with dives in “Muck Central”… Maumere (on the island of Flores). Pindito is the original pioneer of this sleepy Indonesian fishing port that teems with cryptic odd-balls including frogfishes, Ambon Scorpionfishes, leaf-fishes, mercurial schools of venomous catfishes, mandarin fishes, seahorses, giant pen shells in black coral hedges under the town pier, bunches of purple tunicates, harlequin shrimps and so on. This is an awesome place for you to film cool critters. And here you can fill up the final bits of digital memory in your reserve and you can create memories that will fuel your imagination for years to come.
Since storms can be encountered in the tropics even during the best travel time of the year, the Pindito takes the right to alter the cruise itinerary on short notice if necessary.

Lovingly built to the highest standards with her thoughtfully laid out floor plan and smooth sailing. 17 friendly and knowledgeable crewmembers offer 5-star service to ensure guests are comfortable and satisfied. Pindito offers six double cabins and two twin cabins, creating very comfortable accommodations for up to 16 guests. All cabins are en-suite and provided with individually controlled air conditioning and daily housekeeping service. Fresh towels in the cabin and on deck are included. The 5-star service extends to the dining room where passengers are served delicious, international cuisine prepared by expert chefs.
M/V Pindito operates diving cruises in some of the best diving destinations of the world including Raja Ampat, Komodo, Ambon, Alor and many places in between. Guests can enjoy four hassle-free dives per day. The dive deck offers enough space for all divers, with a freshwater shower, rinse tanks and gear storage. With three spacious Zodiacs, all the stunning dive sites can be reached easy and comfortable. M/V Pindito has three highly experienced dive guides to dive around the most biodiverse coral reef ecosystems of the planet.
The tour may start or end in Benoa, Bali or Maumere and heads through the middle of the Komodo National Park. Most of the time is spent around the islands of Banta, Komodo and Rinca. You also visit the smaller islands of Gili Lawa Laut and Tatawa Besar. The ship also may stop at the island of Moyo and Sangeang.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Sangeang
A definite highlight of the dive site is the hot underwater springs. These send up gas bubbles from the black sand forming a magnificent contrast to the huge black corals and sea fans. If you look closely here you can find pygmy seahorses on the sea fans. Other places around the island, such as Masuk Sungai, Bohon Mera and Tanjung Barat offer fascinating dives. Soft and hard corals are fighting for the best places, countless nudibranchs, pipefish, frogfish, seahorses and cuttlefish can be admired.
On the island itself, there are two active volcanoes, the Doro Api and Doro Montoi. At the hot and dry coastal area, savannah-like grasslands have formed with shrub vegetation. From the deck of the Pindito, you can regularly observe large water buffalo grazing. Due to the volcanic origin, the sand is black, which offers a stunning contrast to the remaining vegetation, both above and below water.
Banta
Banta has two of the most famous dive sites, the “Banta Wall” and the “GPS point”. With regular strong currents in the open water, these dive sites are just for big fish encounters. With a little luck you will find swarms of surgeonfish, red snapper, mackerel of all kinds, and of course barracudas, white tip sharks and grey reef sharks. If you like adrenalin rushes, the “Highway to Hell” will top this experience with a roller coaster dive. This beautiful wall surprises ever again with its varying strong currents. For lovers of night-dives “Critters” is a highlight of the tour! Here, all the animals “hang” out in the sand: hunting lionfish, stonefish and wandering octopuses. The stars of the evening, however, are the Stargazers who bury themselves almost unrecognizable in the sand, waiting to be discovered.
Rinca & Komodo
The waters around Rinca are fairly cool for this part of the world and can drop to 22 C degrees. A 5-7mm wetsuit is strongly recommended to enjoy the beauty of Horseshoe Bay. The “Yellow Wall of Texas” and “Cannibal Rock” are world-famous sites. They offer many colorful soft corals and feather stars in a small space. Every millimeter is overgrown and invigorated, you can spend hours admiring and enjoying them, if only there were not so many fish to obstruct your view!
Another highlight of the tour is, of course, a visit to the Komodo dragons! The Komodo dragon lives exclusively in Indonesia and has a maximum length of 3 meters and weighs more than 70kg. It is the largest living lizard. Due to the enormous size, they are referred to as the “dragon”.
Accompanied by a park ranger, our tour through the National Park starts early in the morning. Not only can you see dragons at close range, but can also observe macaque monkeys, wild boar, deer and water buffalos. With a bit of luck, we can watch lizards eating. Their saliva is poisonous and their bites kill quickly. The otherwise rather sluggish animals are very active when they hunt and to track their prey. They can reach enormous speeds for up to 15 seconds. Younger lizards prefer rodents and birds, adult lizards can kill bigger animals like deer, wild boars, macaques, snakes, wild dogs and horses. From a hilltop, one has a fantastic view over the valleys and the large bay where Pindito will be on anchor.
Tatawa Besar & Gili Lawa Laut
The small island of Tatawa Besar is located to the north of Rinca which means warmer waters! The island always has some slight current. It is perfect for a relaxing drift dive along the approximately 1km long island. You drift very relaxedly along a slanted slope that is covered with beautiful yellow and orange soft coral. With a bit of luck, Mantas can be seen here.
“Karang Tokto” and “Batu Batu Dekat” at Gili Lawa Laut are first-class dive sites. These are two drop-offs that are perfect for divers. You’ll be taken in by the amount of fish in the water and hardly have time to notice the stunning beauty of the surrounding reefscape. Again the whole array of pelagic fish will come in from jacks in all shapes and forms to white tip and grey reef sharks.
Flores
The port of Maumere is an amazing and diverse dive area. Discover various pipefish and seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish, various, countless colorful nudibranchs, as well as barracuda and batfish. The Pindito crew calls this dive site “blue water muck diving”!
Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

With three spacious Zodiacs, all the stunning dive sites can be reached easy and comfortable. M/V Pindito has three highly experienced dive guides to dive around the most biodiverse coral reef ecosystems of the planet.
The tour may start or end in Bali or Labuan Bajo and heads through the middle of the Komodo National Park. Most of the time is spent around the islands of Banta, Komodo and Rinca. You also visit the smaller islands of Gili Lawa Laut and Tatawa Besar. The ship also may stop at the island of Moyo and Sangeang.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Sangeang
A definite highlight of the dive site is the hot underwater springs. These send up gas bubbles from the black sand forming a magnificent contrast to the huge black corals and sea fans. If you look closely here you can find pygmy seahorses on the sea fans. Other places around the island, such as Masuk Sungai, Bohon Mera and Tanjung Barat offer fascinating dives. Soft and hard corals are fighting for the best places, countless nudibranchs, pipefish, frogfish, seahorses and cuttlefish can be admired.
On the island itself, there are two active volcanoes, the Doro Api and Doro Montoi. At the hot and dry coastal area, savannah-like grasslands have formed with shrub vegetation. From the deck of the Pindito, you can regularly observe large water buffalo grazing. Due to the volcanic origin, the sand is black, which offers a stunning contrast to the remaining vegetation, both above and below water.
Banta
Banta has two of the most famous dive sites, the “Banta Wall” and the “GPS point”. With regular strong currents in the open water, these dive sites are just for big fish encounters. With a little luck you will find swarms of surgeonfish, red snapper, mackerel of all kinds, and of course barracudas, white tip sharks and grey reef sharks. If you like adrenalin rushes, the “Highway to Hell” will top this experience with a roller coaster dive. This beautiful wall surprises ever again with its varying strong currents. For lovers of night-dives “Critters” is a highlight of the tour! Here, all the animals “hang” out in the sand: hunting lionfish, stonefish and wandering octopuses. The stars of the evening, however, are the Stargazers who bury themselves almost unrecognizable in the sand, waiting to be discovered.
Rinca & Komodo
The waters around Rinca are fairly cool for this part of the world and can drop to 22 C degrees. A 5-7mm wetsuit is strongly recommended to enjoy the beauty of Horseshoe Bay. The “Yellow Wall of Texas” and “Cannibal Rock” are world-famous sites. They offer many colorful soft corals and feather stars in a small space. Every millimeter is overgrown and invigorated, you can spend hours admiring and enjoying them, if only there were not so many fish to obstruct your view!
Another highlight of the tour is, of course, a visit to the Komodo dragons! The Komodo dragon lives exclusively in Indonesia and has a maximum length of 3 meters and weighs more than 70kg. It is the largest living lizard. Due to the enormous size, they are referred to as the “dragon”.
Accompanied by a park ranger, our tour through the National Park starts early in the morning. Not only can you see dragons at close range, but can also observe macaque monkeys, wild boar, deer and water buffalos. With a bit of luck, we can watch lizards eating. Their saliva is poisonous and their bites kill quickly. The otherwise rather sluggish animals are very active when they hunt and to track their prey. They can reach enormous speeds for up to 15 seconds. Younger lizards prefer rodents and birds, adult lizards can kill bigger animals like deer, wild boars, macaques, snakes, wild dogs and horses. From a hilltop, one has a fantastic view over the valleys and the large bay where Pindito will be on anchor.
Tatawa Besar & Gili Lawa Laut
The small island of Tatawa Besar is located to the north of Rinca which means warmer waters! The island always has some slight current. It is perfect for a relaxing drift dive along the approximately 1km long island. You drift very relaxedly along a slanted slope that is covered with beautiful yellow and orange soft coral. With a bit of luck, Mantas can be seen here.
“Karang Tokto” and “Batu Batu Dekat” at Gili Lawa Laut are first-class dive sites. These are two drop-offs that are perfect for divers. You’ll be taken in by the amount of fish in the water and hardly have time to notice the stunning beauty of the surrounding reefscape. Again the whole array of pelagic fish will come in from jacks in all shapes and forms to white tip and grey reef sharks.
Flores
The port of Maumere is an amazing and diverse dive area. Discover various pipefish and seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish, various, countless colorful nudibranchs, as well as barracuda and batfish. The Pindito crew calls this dive site “blue water muck diving”!
Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

M/V Pindito has three highly experienced dive guides to dive around the most biodiverse coral reef ecosystems of the planet.
There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

M/V Pindito has three highly experienced dive guides to dive around the most biodiverse coral reef ecosystems of the planet.
There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

M/V Pindito has three highly experienced dive guides to dive around the most biodiverse coral reef ecosystems of the planet.
There are basically two ways to navigate the Raja Ampat area. One begins from Sorong, the capital of West Papua, to the south. We’ll do most dives around the island maze of Misool. On the return journey, you’ll visit Dampier Straight and maybe Sele Pele or Kofian before you go back to Sorong.
The second tour leads north from Sorong. On this trip, we’ll visit Wayag Island, which lies west of Waigeo. The dive areas are the Dampier Straight, Jef Fam, Sele Pele and Wayag. The tour ends in Sorong.
Typically, we schedule four dives a day depending on cruising and weather conditions:
• Early morning (around 8:00 AM)
• Late morning (around 11:00 AM
• Afternoon (around 3:00 PM)
• After dinner – exciting dusk or nighttime dive
Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.
Waigeo
A special feature of this tour is the crossing of the equator. This area has a fascinating landscape. Many famous Raja Ampat landscape photographs were shot here. On the north, on the island of Wayag, is the famous “Mount Pindito”. From here you get a fantastic view of the many islands. Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

Pindito on anchor in the middle of the Bay completes the beautiful landscape. “Sele Pele” offers the opportunity to look at a pearl farm up close. Depending on the production stage you will be invited to witness the fertilization or harvest! A unique opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Jef Fam
“Jef Fam” is the name of a group of karst islands with great diving, lots of fish and colorful corals. Night dives at the “Red Wall” are always a special experience. In the sand under the pearl diving pier, a lot of special and peculiar creatures, especially wobbegongs and epaulette sharks (walking sharks) can be found. Countless nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses, frogfish, scorpionfish cannot escape the well-trained eye. A great highlight is the manta cleaning station near Mansuar.
Dampier Straight
The Dampier straight separates the “Birdshead” Peninsula from Waigeo and Mansuar. The name comes from Dutch colonial times. It refers to the shape of the peninsula on the map, but it is also a paradise for many rare bird species.
Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Halmahera Sea, with an explosion of marine life as a consequence. With regular strong currents, big fish feel especially comfortable. Manta rays, reef sharks, different schools of mackerel, tuna and barracuda are seen again and again.
Even dolphins and whales (Bryde’s whales, pilot whales) keep spending time in the Dampier straight.
Pindito puts great importance to plan the best possible tour for their guests. When planning the route, many factors play an important role. The most important factor is the weather. Since there can be storms in the tropics at any time, Pindito might change routes and itineraries at short notice.

Misool
Diving in the endless maze of the islands of Misool is a very special treat for any diver. It is a paradise for macro enthusiasts, but encounters with larger fish such as manta rays are often possible. Misool is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world with fish, corals, sponges, soft corals, shrimps, crabs and countless nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Huge shoals of sardines are a definite highlight. Soft corals and sea fans (diameter of 3-4 meters) in all sizes and colors dominate the underwater landscape.
One of Pindito’s special places is called “Vreni’s Garden. It is a legendary dive site that has it all, due to its diverse landscape. Overhangs, huge caverns with swim-throughs, lush steep walls with all kinds of corals are found here.

So, plan carefully and you will reap the benefits of Nitrox diving.

There are several diving insurance companies around the world, we suggest Dan Insurance www.diversalertnetwork.org and DiveAssure
