Going to Raja Ampat

You will need to post a trip report on the diving in Bhutan.....

Kidding aside, my first thought at seeing “Bhutan” was that for many people both Bhutan and Raja Ampat are once-in-a-lifetime destinations. With all the time and money I spend diving I think Bhutan will have to wait for my next lifetime.

Truth.
Kidding aside, my girlfriend would probably kill to go to Bhutan.

And while we hear often hear complaints about marine park fees, a quick Googling reveals Bhutan currently charges a tourist fee of US$250 ($200 in low season) PER DAY.

I realize that my experiences diving RA could be different as we dived a bit further north, at Papua Explorers rather than Papua Paradise. Very likely other than Fam, which is a serious boat ride from either, we would have dived different sites.
