Lagoon tour at Misool
Steffan's drone during our "lagoon tour" in the south of Misool. (Raja Ampat, Papua, Indonesia, November 2015.)
At the beginning of November 2015, I was (again) in Indonesia. ???? I boarded the Waow, magnificent three-masted dedicated to scuba diving, for a liveaboard from Ambon (Central Moluccas) to Sorong (West Papua). All my articles about this trip can be viewed at the link below :
Updated 2018. The Waow, this magnificent dive-cruise boat aboard which I had the chance to embark on in 2015, no longer exists ... ???? He unfortunately burned and sank, in Cenderawasih Bay, Indonesia, at night January 31 to February 1, 2018. I refer you to the message posted on their Facebook page and on their site.
Steffan Kilby, the videographer of the Waow...doesn't just make movies underwater. He also has a drone.

From the sky, this typical landscape of the archipelago of Raja Ampat is even more spectacular!
With his permission, I took some excerpts, to edit a short video with my own pictures made at the water's edge. Here is a small overview of our walk, called "lagoon tour", just before sunset, in the middle of this labyrinth formed karst cliffs covered with virgin forest, diving into the jade water ...

For an overview of the diving and the amazing abundance of coral and underwater life, I suggest you check out the article below:
So much beauty is to cry with happiness in his diving mask! ! !
