The Dive Deck
Kit stays rigged between dives, with tank racks, rinse tanks and space to gear up without queuing.
Membrane or partial-pressure fills depending on the vessel. Worth having on the deeper Misool walls.
Four divers to one guide as standard, three to one on photography charters — enough attention for the current sites.
Rinse tanks kept separate from the gear wash, charging stations and dry storage for housings and strobes.
Included & Not
How Long
The core sites — Manta Sandy, Sardine Reef and Chicken Reef, with Cape Kri on a good tide.
Cape Kri and Blue Magic plus the karst at Wayag and Piaynemo. The most-booked length.
Adds the southern reefs — Fiabacet, Daram, Boo Windows and Magic Mountain.
The longest route, adding whale sharks at the fishing platforms in a separate national park ~600 km east.
Questions
October to April, with manta activity peaking December to March. Whale sharks in Cendrawasih Bay are a year-round encounter on the longest itineraries.
Open Water gets you aboard. Advanced Open Water is what the headline sites want — Cape Kri, Blue Magic and Manta Ridge are dived in current with negative entries. A nitrox endorsement is worth having for the deeper Misool walls.
Three guided dives is standard, with an optional fourth at dawn or after dark at the captain's discretion based on the tide. Nobody is pushed to make four.
Fly to Sorong (SOQ) via Jakarta or Makassar. From there you board directly in Sorong, or take the ferry to Waisai — roughly 85 km, about two hours. Our ground team meets every arrival.

We match the vessel to the group — dive deck size, nitrox, camera facilities and guide ratio all vary. Tech and rebreather divers get a dedicated logistics call.
