Raja Ampat is where I've done some of the best diving of my life. But tourism is booming on these remote Indonesian islands, endangering the seabed and the region's exceptional biodiversity.

Indonesia: Bangka [Sulawesi] + Rao [Halmahera] + Raja Ampat [Papua] – July 2019
One month diving trip in three stages, in the east of the Indonesian archipelago. First stop, the quiet little island of Bangka, in North Sulawesi. Second exploration, far from the beaten tourist tracks: the island of Rao, opposite Morotai, in the north of Halmahera (North Moluccas). And finally a new stay on the island of Kri, in the magnificent archipelago of Raja Ampat, in West Papua.
I'm way behind in my posts, and I haven't yet uploaded any articles about this trip (aside from the general Raja Ampat article below, which compiles info from several previous trips). In the meantime, to get a little glimpse of this new Indonesian journey in July 2019, you can review below the Instagram stories I had posted as I went along:
