LIVEABOARD  DIVE CRUISES IN INDONESIA
Considered by many well-traveled divers to be the best in the world, Mapia offers great biodiversity.  Lush tropical reefs with a dazzling assortment of macro life coupled with massive schools of large animals.   Sharks, mantas, barracuda, tuna along with clouds of colourful fish.   

 Located close of the equator and  north of West Papua, (formerly Irian Jaya),  Mapia can only be dived from a liveaboard.  The dives are almost all drift dives off beautiful, vertical walls.   The variety of soft corals, gorgonians and crinoids is outstanding.  Some gorgonians stick out 3 to 4 meters.  Hammerhead sharks have been seen.  The west fringing reef has a channel that goes into the atoll, where during tide changes, everything is in the water with you. style="mso-spacerun: yes">  Exhilarating!
