Raja Ampat - The Last Paradise, Episode 3 brings you to the Sardine Reef - one of the best reef dive sites in the world, which is located just 10 min from the Sorido Bay Resort's jetty at Dampier Strait in West Papua, Indonesia.

During dives at Sardine Reef you could experience a dazzling array of fish congregate, swarming fusiliers, huge giant trevallies, packs of bluefin jacks, Spanish mackerels, batfish, schooling banner fish, grey reef sharks, blacktips, whitetips, wobbegong sharks, three species of Pygmy seahorses, massive bumped parrotfish.

The Raja Ampat lies in the middle of the Coral Triangle, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Indian Ocean. The marine life biodiversity in the Raja Ampat is the highest recorded on Earth. It's simply overwhelming. It is a home to over 540 types of corals, more than 1000 types of coral fish and over 700 types of mollusks.

After my own 'discovery' of the Raja Ampat, my wife and I visited several dive resorts in Raja Ampat. Sorido Bay Resort was by far our favourite, and between 2018 and 2020 we were very lucky to spend in total 5 weeks at this resort. The combination of the best diving, greatest marine biodiversity in the world, and the resort itself made it our favourite place on this Planet. It is truly the PARADISE FOR DIVERS; and we hope to visit it many more times in the future.

Nice video. Bumphead parrotfish seem to adopt divers as members of their school. Well done!

Is either the North, Central or South better for diving in R Ampat?
