This area is home to Indonesia’s largest marine park, the area boasts stunning tropical rain forests, mist- topped limestone cliffs and some of the finest corals and dramatic wall dives in West Papua. Cenderawasih Bay is one of the only places in the world where it’s possible to see such large numbers of Whale sharks so easily. Divers and snorkelers are treated to a very unique experience as the sharks’ circle floating fishing platforms ( Bagans ) that target small baitfish and squid. The Whale Sharks are regular visitors to the Bagans and hand-fed by the local fisherman who believes the whale sharks bring good luck. Interacting with Cenderawasih’s resident giants is truly a lifetime experience. Another highlight in the area is Manokawri Bay, which provided safe anchorage for the Japanese during the second world war. Numerous wrecks are scattered around the bay. Several wrecks are currently accessible to reactional dives with many still to be discovered. The wrecks are covered in corals and home to a large variety of sea life. Some of the boats are still remarkably preserved and you can still see ammunition, helmets, and cargo. Underwater exploration has only just begun, and we expect more surprises to emerge from these extraordinary seas.
