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..

Good value
Great way to dive in Raja for an affordable price. With this in mind, it is a more budget liveaboard but you go to the places the other more expensive liveaboards go. If seeing Raja is your goal, the pearl is just fine.

Best diving on the planet
I knew that Raja Ampat was famous for soft and hard coral, although I have never seen anything like that in my 30 years of diving. Also the quantity of life under water. The food was amazing and the crew very nice and helpful. It was a great trip
