RAJA AMPAT
There is a great place to dive in the off-shore of Sorong, precisely situated on RAJA AMPAT ISLAND GROUP. The Raja Ampat area of Northwest Irian Jaya is filled with islands, surrounded by reefs and inundated with fish! After 9 years in the area we have only begun to discover the natural treasures awaiting us on each dive.
The Raja Ampat island group spreads out over a huge area and consists of over 610 islands. The four largest islands are Waigeo, Batanta, Salawati and Misool and are located at the Westside of the “Bird head peninsula” in Irian.
The Raja Ampat has only recently been discovered by scientist to house world’s richest reefs systems. The group of islands is situated on the equator, is part of Papua and counts more than 600 islands.Till this very day the area is virtually unexplored and unknown due to its size, what we do know is that it has revealed to harbor an amazing diversity of breathtaking underwater life. The first dives in this area was pioneered in 1990.
The area’s reefs are covered in a diverse selection of both hard and soft corals. Most of the areas reefs are pristine, with mile after mile of perfect hard corals, drift after drift of Dendronephya (soft) corals of many species and colors ranging from brilliant red, to shocking yellow pretty pink and exotic purple. Most reef dives are very colorful.
Among, above, and on top of the corals are fish. Schooling fish, solitary fish, beautiful fish, ugly fish, large fish, small fish! Some fish that are considered to be rare in many parts of the world are abundant in the Raja Ampat area. For example, many Sargassum Frogfish are found in the floating weed in front of the dive resort.
Wobbegong Sharks are found on many dives, often lying atop perfect table corals like a fish carefully arranged by a chef on a dinner plate. The Epaulette Shark, a small shark only a foot long, is numerous and found very often on night dives ithe seagrass or even on the shelf of a wall dive.
Giant Clams are found at many of our dive sites. These clams are large enough to swallow a child, but are embedded in the reef and covered with soft corals, tunicates and sponges so thick they can barely close their shells. Wai Island has a “Giant Clam Area” just off the beach.
The offshore reef sites, especially those near Kri Island are poplulated with MEGATONS of schooling fish! Many different species school in the current sometimes mixing so that a diver is surrounded by a chaotic mass of fish life. The most common to see are barracuda, jacks, bannerfish, surgeonfish, fusiliers, parrotfish and snappers. All in many species. The fish are so dense that they sometimes block the view of your dive buddy or the surface!
The Raja ampat area is not only stunning underwater. Topside, the islands have a very diverse topography with steep mountain shores and deserted white sand beaches. The area is far off the beaten track and is rarely visited by foreigners. The raw beauty of the islands will fascinate you. It’s dense jungle interior is known for its many orchids and the paradise birds. Waigeo and Batanta have the Wilson’s and the Red Bird of Paradise both endemic to this area, as well as abundantly present Lorikeets, Parrots, Kingfishers, Eagles and Hornbills.

KRAKATOA-THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS VOLCANO
The island group of Karakatoa (or Krakatau) lies in the Sunda strait between Java and Sumatera. Krakatau is infamous for its violent planian eruption in 1883, that destroyed the previous volcanic edifice and enlarged its caldera.
Collapse of the former volcanic edifice, perhaps in 416 AD, had formed a 7-km-wide-caldera. Remnants of this ancestral volcano are preserved in verlaten and Lang Island; subsequently Rakata, Danan, and Perbuwatan Volcanoes were formed, coalescing to create the pre-1883 Krakatoa island. Caldera collapse during the catastrophic 1883 eruption destroyed Dana and Perbuwatan volcanoes, and left only a remnant of Rakata volcano.
This eruption, the 2nd largest in Indonesia during historical time ( the most violent being the eruption Tambora in 1815), cause more than 36,000 fatalities, most as a result of devastating tsunamis that swept the adjacent coastline of Sumatera and Java. Pyro classic surges traveled 40 km a cross the Sunda Strait and reached the sumatera coast. after a quiescence of less than a half century, the post-collapse cone of Anak Krakatoa (“Child of Krakatoa”) as constructed within the 1883 caldera at a point between the former cones of Danan and Perbuwatan. Anak Krakatoa has been site of frequent eruption since 1927.
Krakatau or Krakatoa or Krakatao is volcanic island in the sunda Strait between Java and Sumatera in Indonesia. The name is used for the island group, the main island ( also called Rakata ), and the volcano as a whole. It has erupted repeatedly, massively, and with disastrous consequences throughout recorded history,. The best known eruption culminated in series massive exploitations on August 26-27, 1883.
The 1883 eruption ejected more than 25 cubic kilometers of rock, ash, and pumice, and generated the loudest sound historically reported: the cathalismic explosion was distinctly heard as far away as Perth in Australia ( approx 1,930 miles or 3,100 km ), and the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius ( approx 3,000 miles or 4,800 km ). Near Krakatoa, according to official records, 165 villages and towns were destroyed and 132 seriously damaged, at least 36,417 ( official toll ) people died, and many thousands were injured by eruption, mostly from the tsunamis which followed the explosion.
The eruption destroyed two thirds of the island of Krakatoa. Eruption at volcano since 1927 have built a new island in the same location, called Anak Krakatoa.
