The Dutchman Max Ammer is the \"pioneer\" of diving in Raja Ampat. Quite a character. He is an environmental adventurer, an enthusiastic explorer and a fabulous storyteller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I am delighted to have met Max Ammer, during my stay on the island of Kri in Raja Ampat, in Indonesian Papua, in March 2012<\/a>. I wasn't sure, before coming, if he would be there. He is the one who runs the two resorts in Papua Diving<\/a> on the island (Kri Eco Resort and Sorido Bay Resort).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By way of introduction, I invite you to watch the videos below...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update, September 2020.<\/strong><\/span> The first publication of this article dates back to 2012... I add this video from 2020, in which Max Ammer recounts his career and the initiatives launched in recent years (electric catamarans, helicopters, aviation in Papua, in addition to environmental and social projects developed locally), all against a backdrop of sumptuous underwater images, which reflect the extraordinary richness of Raja Ampat. This video portrait (in English) gives a good idea of the character:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
