Cenderawasih Bay, Indonesia August 2022

Cenderawasih Bay is one of the last frontiers in diving. Few have witnessed the beauty and diversity of this place – it has been described as "The Galapagos of Indonesia's reefs" by none other than Dr Gerald Allen! As an indicator of biodiversity, the bay is home to 4 species of turtle: green, hawksbill, Pacific Ridley and leatherback, as well as much sought-after marine mammals such as dolphins and dugongs.
However, the main draw is the presence of numerous whale sharks and their unusual behavior. Whale sharks here gather together below fishing platforms, dining on the small fry that slip out of the fishing nets or are otherwise discarded by the fishermen. Imagine multiple whale sharks. from the still-large juveniles to massive adults, hanging vertically near the surface waiting for the tasty treats the fishermen throw their way.
Cenderawasih is also a beautiful place for the macro-lover with its fair share of pygmies, tiger prawns, nudibranchs, and sea snakes – there’s something for everyone here. Join us aboard the luxu-rious Dewi Nusantara for a 10 night dive safari like none other!
