A voyage with Vaiatea Liveabaord promises the opportunity to sail through the gem of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat is one of the most bucket-listed destinations, known as the Last Paradise, with more than 1,500 wild islands, cays, and shoals. Underwater, the marine habitats are among the most biodiverse globally, with 1,200 fish and 550 species of hard and soft coral. With Vaiatea liveaboard, you will dive into the most beautiful area from Misool, Batanta & The Dampier Strait, between Waigeo and Batanta. All dive sites offer beautiful coral gardens, underwater pinnacles or seamounts, sandy bottoms with coral heads, and cleaning stations. In Raja Ampat, we can find even more nutrients bringing in bigger predators like giant trevallies, yellowfin tuna, rainbow runners, and even sharks like blacktip, grey reef, and white tip sharks. It is also one of the few places in the world where we can find two species of Manta rays on the same dive sites. Let's explore and dive into the wonder of Raja Ampat with Vaiatea Liveaboard.

At one point, we noticed the anchor light wasn’t working. Apparently, after six years the battery was dead. We were able to buy a spare anchor light, and I went up the mast to replace it. The first time, we thought it would be easy—just replace the light or the battery—but it turned out that more work was needed. The anchor light had to be unscrewed and the two wires had to be reconnected in the terminal block. And all of that at 22 meters up, right on top of the mast. After some instructions from Gilles, I went up the mast again, this time bringing tools along in the side pockets of the “chair” (bosun’s chair) in which you’re hoisted up. It worked, and the anchor light was shining brightly again at the top of the mast!
