Indonesia: Alor + Raja Ampat - July 2012

One month trip to Indonesia. Scuba diving in Alor (small islands of Eastern Sonde) and Raja Ampat (West Papua). Magnificent !

Kupang Airport. Indonesia, July 2012.

Thirteen takeoffs and thirteen landings

Alor and Raja Ampat: two distant archipelagos in Indonesia. I am back from it. I reconstructed in video my itinerary ... Total: 13 planes!

Heading for Alor

Alor Archipelago, Indonesia. It is completely to the east, near East Timor. It is far. It's quiet. It's beautiful. And we dive there.

The underwater treasures of Alor

Underwater, we do not look only in the blue. In the archipelago of Alor, Indonesia, it is by scrutinizing the bottom that we find treasures.

Take Pictures Underwater or Exhaust Yourself Swimming

Take photos under water, I love it. But palmer, much less. I realized this well by diving in Alor, Indonesia.

Clown fish. Alor, Indonesia. July 2012.

Clownfish have a dirty mouth

The picture under water, it's funny. I love it when the fish take suggestive poses. The coolest are not the ones we believe!

See Raja Ampat again

Raja Ampat! I fell in love with these lost islands in the depths of Indonesia. I was there in March. I went back in July. Even dazzling.

Our arrival in Mioskon awakens hundreds of bats hidden in the trees. (Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia, July 2012)

Mioskon, the island with bats

The Indonesian archipelago of Raja Ampat sometimes has an air of Jurassic Park. The pretty little island of Mioskon is home to thousands of bats.

The biggest shellfish in the world

This shell is a monster. It is not for nothing that it is called "giant holy water". I have never seen one as big as Raja Ampat.

Raja Ampat : practical information and tips to organize your trip

Diving at Raja Ampat... A dream. But beware, a trip to Raja Ampat requires that you behave as a responsible visitor. Tourism, which is booming in this archipelago, is threatening one of the most magnificent reservoirs of biodiversity on the planet.
