Cenderawasih Bay Indonesia – Dewi Nusantara

Overview

Cenderawasih Bay: a new dive destination on the world dive map! Pristine and vast, the bay’s reef tops comprise some of healthiest hard coral gardens to be seen. Dramatic vertical walls with prolific sponge life abound on the outlying atolls, schooling fish along the reef points and ridges.
Cenderawasih also has a few unique features in Indonesia’s pantheon of rich reefs. The bay was geologically isolated until recently, and still less current moves through Cenderawasih’s waters than Raja Ampat’s waters. This isolation has blessed Cenderawasih with a number of very colorful endemic species. Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that many normally deep-dwelling fish species are found here in relatively shallow water. This topsy-turvy reefscape, along with the presence of the world’s largest fish, the whale shark, prompted Dr. Gerald Allen to call Cenderawasih ” the Galapagos of Indonesia’s Reefs”.

You will explore this area aboard the luxurious Dewi Nusantara, a world class three masted schooner, reminiscent of a bygone area. One of the most spacious liveaboards in the area offers plenty of space to hang out and relax between dives. The service and the food while on board is simply incredible. From the friendly 15 person crew , to sumptuous meals to shoulder rubs after each dive, the Dewi has it all.

Join us on the luxurious Dewi Nusantara to see whale sharks and dive sites few others have ever seen!
