Raja Ampat

February 9-21, 2026

We have done the research on the best time of year to go, the best dive itinerary, and the best boat based on a few criteria we set. We wanted a boat that was comfortable, adequate crew to guest ratio, good food, would offer us the itinerary of our choice at the best time of year to go.  We also evaluated sleeping options, types of dive boats used, availability of Nitrox, and extra fees/costs. We met with over 20 different operators, narrowing the list down each day, revisiting the booths with more questions each day, and finally made a deal with Wallacea dive charters on the MV Ambai. It’s a great Indonesian style boat, that was designed to be a dive boat, with beautiful accommodations.

This trip will be 12 nights and will allow us the dive itinerary of all the great dive sights of Raja (north, central, and south) with the opportunity to make 33 or more dives. We have been given the DEMA special of $5795.The regular price is $6376. 

*Please note: there will be a fuel surcharge and a park fee due at the time of embarkation – these fees are adjustable depending upon current market prices.
