| Trip to Passage16th July 2010 |
| During the first dive of our beautiful trip at Manta Point we had a real manta show of more than 10 white and black mantas coming towards us from all directions sometimes even in groups of 4 and 5 during the whole dive. Besides visiting the Papuan traditional burial location and bat cave, the main attraction of the day was the Passage. After diving in the caves at the beginning of the dive we found many amazing colourful nudibranchs. Right after we had a turtle then 1.5 meters long white tip shark swimming along with us for a few minutes. Our memorable dive ended with a beautiful surprise of an eagle ray breaking the silence underwater. |
|
| Visiting Manta Pont at Arborek15th July 2010 |
| The first dive of the trip was at the Manta Pont. Four mantas (black and white) were entertaining our guests during the entire dive. At the second dive we saw 3 really large size wobbegong sharks at the close by Lalosi reef. |
|
| Sargassum frogfish at the housereef1st July 2010 |
| The currents bring smaller and larger seagrasses close to our housereef. This is where we found a 12 cm long sargassum frogfish( Histrio histrio) travelling on a seagrass at the surface. |
|
| Palm Cockatoos on the island26th June 2010 |
| The palm seeds have ripened on the huge trees of the island. Now these trees are the kingdom of the Palm Cockatoo from dawn till dusk: it's amazing to observe them while having a nap, excersizing and looking around. Even 6 to 8 of them can be seen together. We can't have such an amazing view anywhere else! |
|
| Dugongs again20th June 2010 |
| While the crew was taking the boat back to the service side from the dive center they met 2 dugongs. Mammy duggong and her baby were swimming towards the seagrass to have dinner. |
|
| Giants and Pygmyes19th June 2010 |
| A school of barracuda was welcoming us at the beginning of the dive. They must have been around 20, even the smallest one was larger than 1 meter. Then a few really large tunas came along with the current. We were very excited to search for pygmies at the gorgonias. We found a pink Hippocampus denise at the first one and two Hippocampus bargibanti at the second gorgonia. These tiny creatures made our day really special! |
|
| Ghost pipe fish at Goa Kecil18th June 2010 |
| Our dive team found a white ghost pipe fish at the very beginning of our dive. We have not seen this spiece in Raja Ampat before. A little later there was a hiding octopus with a few dancing shrimps along the reef. We saw at least 8 nudibranchs during our dive. The most interesting was an unknown spiece from the Chromodorididae family. |
|
| Black Rock13rd June 2010 |
| Black Rock is among our favourite macro dive sites. Besides the wonderful tod fish and huge wobbegong we also found 13 species of nudibranchs. Mentioning some of the best ones: Chromodoris coi, Chromodoris kunei, Glossodoris cruenta, Jorunna funebris and Phyllidia ocellata made our dive really pleasant. |
|
| Ayofi Reserve11st June 2010 |
| Our new dive manager dived at the reserve for the first time. Ayofi as always showed its best. First an eagle ray flew above us, then we met a few huge bumpheads, more than one meter long ones. We also found a more than 3 meters long wobbegong which had two little shrimps cleaning his back. We were looking for pygmys on the gorgonias at 30 meters, but we could not find any. One of our dive guide found a black nudibranch. We have not seen this species before and we could not even find it in the nudibranch index. |
|
| Dokri again8th June 2010 |
| We had a check dive without guets at Dokri today. The huge barracudas and tunas are still there as usual. Even the 2 meters long reef shark appearing from the blue was not surprising. The real surprise was to find 2 pink Denise (Hippocampus denise) pigmy seahorse during browsing a gorgonia. |
|
| Trip to the Passage1st June 2010 |
| We organised this trip for our German guests, it included a few more additional programs as well. Our group started with a short snorkelling in Hidden bay of Gam island. Then we proceeded to dive at the narrow channel of Passage which is located between Gam and Waiego islands. First we explored the underwater caves, then we began to look for nudibranchs. We found more than 25 species during the 90 minutes long dive. We also identified an undescribed species of Thorunna (family Chromodorididae) and a Chromodoris fidelis as well. After having lunch beside a small waterfall we went to see the beautiful mushroom formed islands, the traditional burial place and the bat cave as well. On the way home we dived at Chicken reef where we found a bargibanti, a walking shark, 2 turtles, a white tip reef shark, a huge fan tale sting ray, a really beautiful wobeggong, a few really nice and young crocodile fish, an orange Thacacera and a Glossodoris stellata from the nudibranch family. Does it sound exciting enough? |
|
| Terns at Pulau Dua30th May 2010 |
| We went to look around in Pulau Dua islands between 2 fantastic dives. We found the nesting place of 3 different Tern birds in one of the desert islands. The Bridled Tern (Sterna anaethetus) breeding in the largest number. There were the species of the Crested Turn (Sterna bergii) and the Black-naped Tern (Sterna sumatrana) also. We could also observe a few Black Noddy (Anous minutus) too. We did not moor on this island naturally, we did not want to disturb the birds. |
|
| Birds of Paradise29th May 2010 |
| We left for Batanta island to look for Birds of Paradise with our Swedish guest in the middle of the night. We approached the other side of the island with our motorboat, then after an hour walk we finally reached the mountain top at sunrise. This is where the most beautiful bird of our Planet was waiting for us, the Wilson s Bird of Paradise. We admired the bird for 2 hours while we took pictures and videos as well. The distance between our guest and the bird was around 4-5 meters most of the times. On our way down from from the mountain we got to meet the other endemic bird of Raja Ampat, the Red Bird of Paradise. We had another small excursion in Salawati island in the afternoon in research of the King Bird of Paradise. We did not manage to see the colourful male, but we could observe the female feeding her baby just flewn out of the nest very well. |
|
| Mantas28th May 2010 |
| The mantas are gone 3 weeks ago from the Secret Manta Point of our dive center. Only a few appear occasionally. Therefore we took our guests to the well known Manta Point at Arborek. At the first dive 7 mantas were entertaining our team with their wonderful show. There were 3 black ones, one of them more than 5 meters long! The broken tailed one was also here which we meet regularly during the past 4 years. The visibility was worse during the second dive, 7 mantas showed off at this time however. The black ones were represented by only 2 smaller individuals. While waiting we met a very charming filefish (Rudarius minutus). |
|
| Frogfish at Wai Island27th May 2010 |
| Our team dived at the wreck of the P47 (Thunderbolt) airplane, next to Wai Island. At the beginning of the dive a blue-brown frogfish turned up at 14 metres, which was found by Rainer, our German guest. Later on we found again 2 of the red coloured Denis sea-horses (Hippocampus denise) at the tail of the machine. |
|
| Dive at Pulau Uru26th May 2010 |
| We dived at the exterior arc of Pulu Uru with our guests. It took us by surprise to have a visibility of 15 meters which was worse than expected. This did not spoil the team s mood however. First we found 2 pygmy sea-horses (Hippocampus bargibanti). And a huge manta flew above us in the same moment against current. A little bit higher up a 2 metres long wobbegong was waiting for us, we also met 2 turtles (none one them woke up from our visit). We saw a one and a half meters long white tip reef shark too. We felt that all this was enough for one dive. |
|
| Birds of Paradise23rd May 2010 |
| We made a smaller excursion on Batanta island with an early dawn departure, searching for new birds of paradise observing places. We found the Red birds of Paradise after a 20 minutes boat ride and a half an hour long easy walk from our resort. We managed to observe at least 4 birds in the tall foliage. |
|
| There are less enjoyable dives too19th May 2010 |
| There is a slightly bare shoal made by the flows hundred meters from the house reef in front of the guest houses. We roamed the exterior side of this. Although the place could be a big fish area considering its position, but it did not provide a similar spectacle as Dokri now. The truth is that we saw 2 turtles and we found 2 pygmy sea-horses again finally (Hippocampus bargibanti) too. The Tambja morose was the most beautiful one among all the nudies. |
|
| The day of the nudibranchs17th May 2010 |
| New dive at the black rocks (Kampung Baru - Black rocks). We found 10 nudibranchs at least alltogether. Chelidonura varians, Sebadoris nubilosa, Chromodoris leoparda, Chromodoris tritos, Chromodoris coi are the most beautiful of the area. |
|
| New dive sites12th May 2010 |
| Exploring our surrounding area, looking for new dive sites are also part of our dive center’s everyday activities. This is how we found the reef behind Kampung Baru. We were diving from one miracle to the other until the last moment of our 75 minutes long dive. First we saw 2 octopuses without observing any usual shy behaviour, then a todfish was posing in front of our cameras. Later we found a white tip reef shark sleeping in a small cave, and then we saw 8 different species of nudibranches. We ended our dive with seeing a ghost pipe fish at 3 meters in an environment without any current. It was a wonderful dive! |
|
| Walking shark at the house reef9th May 2010 |
| Our guests like snorkelling on their last day or in between two dives usually. Our Hungarian guest saw a walking shark about 20 meters away from the dive center. They can be followed, observed for houres. We ended the dive after taking a few pictures. |
|
| Dokri4th May 2010 |
| Dokri has always been one of our favourite Big Fish dive sites.It was even more special today. At first we saw a 2 meters long reef shark followed by an eagle ray. Then we saw black tip reef sharks again. The biggest one must have been the size of a man. One meter large bumphead parrot fish were following us, two of them became our dive buddies. At last another eagle ray and a small turtle joined us at the end of our 50 minutes dive program. |
|
| Waisai s Birthday3rd May 2010 |
| The one week long birthday festival of the capital of Raja Ampat has started today. We were also present of course. On the way to Waisai we had the enormous pleasure to encounter a group of 50 - 100 pilot whales and dolphins swimming along our boat. |
|

|
| Sperm whales come to visit28th April 2010 |
| The team was getting ready for the next dive in the harbour when opposite the guest houses approx 200m from the shore two sperm whales appeared. They were spurting water out and playing then they slowly swam away toward the East. As they swam further away one of them made a playful jump out of the water. |
|
| The house reef can be dangerous sometimes26th April 2010 |
| Our guests are used to the appearance of occasional sharks, octopus, rays or other beautiful creatures under the guest houses and restaurant. However it is essential that we remain observant and careful as today under the no.10 guesthouse a rather large stonefish was bobbing around and not far from him we observed a 20cm long sea snake. |
|
| Tawyn nurse shark under the jetty24th April 2010 |
| A 1.5 m long tawyn nurse shark visited our house reef again. She circled under the jetty for a while and time to time a half meter long black tip followed her around. |
|
| New reefs23rd April 2010 |
| We dived a new reef in the open sea with our German guests. The pristine water around the reef provides home to untouched corals, many different groups of fish and of course nudis. At the end of our dive while undertaking the safety stop at 5m two giant mantas circled around us. We identified them, based on their interesting white patterned wings, as the same mantas we met at the beginning of week at Palau Dua. The afternoon dive brought some more new and amazing experiences by diving yet again at a new dive spot, which we named Tapor Ingkassiow. |
|
| Brown boobies in the area21st April 2010 |
| After a big thunder storm some brown boobies visited the area for couple of days. These birds hunt for fish by darting into the water catching their prey under water and they are very rare visitors to the area. |
|
| Diving the Wai Wall20th April 2010 |
| Our German guests enjoyed a classic wall dive with us taking them to the cave entrance at 30m. On the way to the dive a twenty strong dolphin group swam along our speedboat. During the dive we met a wobbegong, a black tip, a turtle and nine different kind of nudi. On the way home we popped in to see the manta rays. Our guests were snorkelling with 30 to 50 mantas (the truth is that the mantas came to see us rather than the other way around) and we also found the time to have a dive at a cleaning station at 12m. |
|
| Tourist Information Centre opens in Bali15th April 2010 |
| The mayor of Raja Ampat (Drs. Marcus Wanna) believes that the future of the area lies in ecotourism.

| A new fish curio turned up in the vicinity of the resort base. The patchy tangerine fish (Spotted mandarinfish=Picture dragonet)can be found only in the Philippines and some Indonesian islands according to the literature.

|
| Another Mandarin fish9th February 2010 |
| "Our Indonesian guest found some more Mandarine fish on the house reef at our guest side. Since some fish have appeared at the NE side of the island, we can say now that this unique ""sunset"" fish species can be seen almost everywhere on our house reefs around the resort." |
|
| A dive at Wai Wall1st February 2010 |
| We joined our guests to dive at a dive point near Wai island in front of the resort. Although, this dive site is not considered as a manta point, 5 giant manta welcomed our group. Later came some white and black tip sharks as well. The sharks then were followed by 18 of 1 metre big bumphead parrotfish (mostly they substitute the napoleon fish). After finishing the dive, the group spent some half an hour by snorkelling with 20 mantas. |
|
| Dugong in love29th January 2010 |
| During our trip to Sorong, we saw 2 dugongs on the surface in a bay North of Batanta. When we got closer to them we realised they had their private mating time. It would be great if dugong population would grow in number. |
|

|
| Mantas arrived!10th December 2009 |
| There are 2 manta points can be found around the resort. At one of them, some 4-5 meter wide mantas (black ones too) are regularly there. The mantas only visit the other closer site occasionally for only couple of weeks but that time - like in this December - in huge amount. This January we could snorkel among almost 50 mantas. We hope our guests could experience the same. |
|
| Visit of the bupati13th November 2009 |
| Although, we had been organising the visit of the local government to our resort for months, it seemed it would not take place this year. However, one day, a boat full of people arrived to the resort to inform us that the Bupati would come. It was a surprise and we had only 2 hours to get everything ready. The first man of Raja Ampat, Dr. Marcus Wamna and his wife arrived with three huge boats. Altogether some forty people accompanied him (family members and officers) on the opening ceremony. The head of the Tourist Office came as well. The Bupati s wife cut through the ribbon made of flowers then they familiarly visited around the whole resort from the bungalows to the workers houses. The opening ceremony was followed by a nice, hearty lunch. The Bupati spent only two hours here but for us it was significant because he cancelled his programs in the capital to be able to visit us. Our visitors were very satisfied with everything for sure. Having several conversations with the Bupati, he repeatedly committed himself to the importance of tourism and the conservation of nature. |
|
| Meet the ghost pipefish6th November 2009 |

|
| Wilson’s Bird of Paradise13th June 2009 |
| "Our first bird watching trip led us to one of the most beautiful birds on earth, I believe. We set out early morning and we watched the sun rise from the top of a mountain. We hardly spent an hour in the hide, made up of leaves, but the experience will stay with us for a life time. The two male and three female Wilson s Bird of Paradise were singing, cleaning, posing and playing only approx three meters from us. They did not even acknowledge us |
|

|
| Ripening fruits4th May 2009. |
| The King Kakadu’s favourite fruit is coming into season. From sun rise to sun set no hour passes by without a few black Kakadus disturbing the peace around the resort. It is a wonderful experience to be woken up by their singing. |

|
| Mantas on the house-reef25th March 2009. |

|
| Whales again!21st March 2009. |
| Approx 15 minutes from our resort, at the same place where we observed them before, we have encountered a couple of whales again. The family was peacefully snoozing on the surface of the water. The mum was approx 15 meters long and un-surprisingly the baby was significantly smaller. As we did not want to disturb the family idyll, we kept our distance. It is very promising though, whales were around on both occasions we visited this place. |
|
| Humphead parrotfish20th March 2009. |
| Today seventeen giant humphead parrotfish were swimming on the corral reef in front of the guesthouses. They must have been up to a meter long and they were happily swimming around exploring the area for about half an hour. Some of them showed real bravery swimming right under the guesthouses.

|
| Mantas everywhere18th January 2009. |
| "Our Papuan colleagues told us on few occasions that there is an amazing manta ray feeding station near by. We did not know about this place before so it was time to explore! And what a breath taking experience it was. In the past we have dived with mantas in the Maldives |
|
| Sleeping whale17th January 2009. |
| "At dawn we sailed across to a nearby island, looking for the colourful Wilson birds of Paradise. On the way back we bumped into a 16-17 meter long whale, peacefully snoozing on the surface. Initially we slipped a little too close to the giant and he swam away with sudden urgency. Clearly he did not like being disturbed. However he stopped about 300m away from us and carried on with his nap. This time we were more careful and stopped about 5-6m away from him. Half of our team was filming the sleeping giant from the boat |
|
