Huge manta rays, anchovy bait balls, clouds of schooling fish, colorful nudibranchs and flatworms, pigmy seahorses and countless reef fishes were omnipresent on our dives in Raja Ampat and Misool. A very special moment was the close encounter with a heavily pregnant reef manta ray with an impressive bulged belly and back. On one particular dive we were surrounded by anchovy bait balls which were constantly threatened by passing jack fishes. Many times we had clouds of schooling fish passing above us and darkening the ocean. In the corals we found many different species of nudibranchs, a huge variety of marine flatworms and lots of pygmy sea horses and other critters. Welcome to our diving safari to Raja Ampat over Christmas and New Year 2019/2020. We stayed 11 nights on the Amira Liveaboard and 6 nights in the Misool Eco Resort.
