Great Raja experience!
Yayu and her team provided a consistent dive experience across the 8 days touring around Raja Ampat. They did their best to get us good time slots at all of the major sites to make the challenging currents manageable and keep us well fueled with plenty of tasty food.

10/10 I could not wish for anything more
Amazing professional crew under great leadership, enables us guests to only focus on having a good time, and a lot of great scuba diving. Everything is well planned and executed. I consider the whole trip as a highlight, to be a bit more specific some favourite sites include Blue Magic, Mayhem and Melissas Garden.

Greatest moment ever!
Dive guides were so good. They showed me lots of fish, mantas, small creatures....Felt safe and secure even when there were very strong currents thanks to the help of dive masters there. The crew were super kind and friendly, making me smile all the time.

Pearl of Papua IS A PRECIOUS PEARL!
Great jovial atmosphere at our hotel among the other divers who were also being picked up really set us off on a great foot. Yayu (the owner/operator) is very organized and prompt, all with a congenial spirit. The small size of our group (11 guests) really fostered a personal experience. Lifetime friendships were formed. The coral was mind blowing. Yayu is extensively aware of the pelagic life as we were informed of what specifically to look for at each dive site. FABULOUS time with the Manta's at the cleaning station! Side excursions were also a very nice treat (hiking to top lookout at Piaynemo), a stroll through a tiny village on a small island topped off with FRESH coconut water!

- Yayu is the PERFECT Host!!! Gracious, considerate, accomodating, knowledgeable, humorous, not enough room to express the kindness of ALL of her staff.. There are swift currents, but the DM's and boat dinghy crew were acutely aware of every diver. I felt very safe. They take their jobs quite seriously. Lounge deck is FABULOUS! BBQ beach dinner was a blast. Ramah is incredibly kind, attentive and eager to help find anything you need..
