Raja Ampat Blog with Photos!

Posted January 30, 20241 yr

Friends: I thought you might enjoy my recent blog about a trip to Raja Ampat last year that includes some of my underwater images. We stayed at the fabulous Papua Explorers Eco-Resort because it was during the off-season and all the boats were tied up.

Protecting the Remarkable Coral Reefs of Raja Ampat, Indonesia

My son and I are going back in late March 2024, this time aboard a liveaboard dive boat. So we'll see more of the area; can't wait!
