100% Raja Ampat Liveaboard Diving with City Seahorse

  1. Our Best Dive Trips - 100% Raja Ampat Liveaboard Diving with City Seahorse

    Specialty Raja Ampat Dive Trips for Photo & Video

     

    November 2010 - 11 nights

     

    Only 2 trips in 2010

    Our 11th year & 27th+ trips taking small groups of photographers to Raja Ampat!

     

    In 2010, we offer only two trips to Raja Ampat, this premier area of the world for underwater photography and video.

     

    Each trip will be 100% Raja Ampat and will include only the very best of the best diving.

     

     

    As always on City Seahorse trips, maximum guests each trip is 12. Guide/diver ratio is 1:3 or 1:4.

     

    Our trips concentrate on providing maximum photo & diving opportunities for our guests. We do not offer instruction or seminars.. we are underwater far too much to waste time topside unless it is for photo ops in a village, among the intriguing mazes of rock islands or a dusk trip for bird watching that are offered during surface intervals.

     

    Expect a large variety of dive sites offering wide angle, macro, super-macro and split-image photo ops. Expect unlimited time on every dive (your dive computer & stamina are the limiting factors). Expect a ship uniquely designed for diving and photography. Expect a crew, cruise director, dive guides and trip organizer all with many years experience in Raja Ampat.

     

    Expect the freedom and flexibility to create award-winning images.

     

    Our latest award winning guest, Adriano Morettin, received the Plongeur d'Or for his Portfolio, the top prize in the image category, at the Festival Mondial de l'image Sous-Marine, the top underwater photography competition in the world, in November 2009. Most images from Adriano's 10 image portfolio came from his trip with City Seahorse in Raja Ampat. See some of Adriano's images at www.cityseahorse.com/photo-contest-winners.html visit the Festival Mondial de l'image Sous-Marine website for a slideshow of all winning images at www.underwater-festival.com

     

    City Seahorse trips are recommended in travel guides and by many serious photographers & videographers.

     

     

    Check details on our webpage, including comments from our guests. Oct/Nov/Dec 2009 trip reports will be added soon.

    These Raja Ampat diving trips are also appropriate for experienced divers who are not photographers. Single cabins are available. Many of our guests are solo travelers.

  2. 2010 trips all full + some on waiting list.

     

    2011 trips available. Soon as I get time I'll post them. Just pasting in from the Sep. newsletter here:

     

     

    Our limited participation trips cost approximately the same as other trips that carry full loads of divers - but we get lots more dives, more time underwater and more personal attention.

     

    For 2011 I've made the trips a bit longer to give us time to venture into more of Raja Ampat than on the 11 day trips. The few days extension will give us the flexiibility to visit some different areas while still finding time for "open deck" days and our favorite sites.

     

    Oct 24 - Nov 7, 2011, 14 days & nights, $4995

    Nov 11 - 22, 2011, 12 days & nights, $4295

     

    On every City Seahorse charter we will try for 4+dives/day. Unlimited diving time. Staying at the good sites for photography, video and adventure and missing the bad sites. If you have favorite sites from a previous trip, please tell me and we will try to work them into the itinerary.
