    Indonesia Liveaboard Package - 14 days diving Raja Ampat, air, hotel - Oct/Nov 2012

    Raja Ampat Liveaboard Package
    Sorong-Sorong Liveaboard
    14 diving days on liveaboard, round trip domestic air, hotel
    16 days, 15 nights



    City Seahorse May 1, 2012

    Spend 14 days diving Raja Ampat for LESS than the cost of a transfer
    cruise or even a 14 day (12 diving days) visit to a comparable Raja
    Ampat resort.

    If you have never been diving in Indonesia before, this trip is the great
    Smörgåsbord (Rijsttafel?) of Indonesian Diving. In this center of biodiversity
    you will get a sample of nearly everything during your time underwater!
    Plus, many of the dishes listed on the Rijsttafel menu are prepared for your
    meals on the ship!

    Mid-October to early December normally has the best weather (diving
    conditions) of the entire year in Raja Ampat. This is always the
    season when I schedule my trips. However, most ships are not yet in
    Raja Ampat.

    Most trips available at this time are the less desirable "transfer cruise"
    ships offer when relocating from the south to Raja Ampat for the season.
    Transfer and one-way cruises must cover long distances with no opportunity
    to stay at the best sites and enjoy the diving. While a transfer cruise may
    seem like a better deal, the reality is that the better diving is in Raja Ampat,
    so only a few days of a transfer cruise will offer truly great dives.

    This year from mid-October - mid November very few ships will be in
    Raja Ampat, so we expect to be the only ship in sight for much of our
    14 diving days.

    There are still some spaces available on my City Seahorse Value Added
    trips during this time. I'd love to sell these last spaces so that I
    can concentrate on my own holiday!!


    ***** These trips are 100% Raja Ampat.


    I've constructed a PACKAGE, including domestic air travel in Indonesia
    and a night in Sorong so that we can all board the ship at 9AM on
    departure day. This package is a substantial discount off the regular
    price (due to the inclusions).

    You can spend 14 days diving Raja Ampat for less than the cost of a
    transfer cruise or even a 14 day (12 diving day - check the schedules)
    visit to a comparable Raja Ampat resort. When you compare dives
    per dollar these trips are even more impressive.

    Ask me for a comparison spreadsheet!

    details.
