Raja Ampat, Diving’s Holy Grail
Filed under Exotic South East, Nature
Deep in the hearts of Papua, lies the Holy Grail of scuba diving. Back in our very first issue of the magazine we shared about the eco-conservation efforts being undertaken in Raja Ampat to ensure this paradise would last as long as it can. Here we’d like to showcase the amazing photography of Scotty Graham, which was featured then in our print magazine. Enjoy this photographic journey through Raja Ampat’s marine beauty!

Raja Ampat means the Four Kings in English… Truly one of the best spot to dive in Indonesia. Having said that, there are numerous places that have the same beauty as Raja Ampat in Indonesia. Many of them are still virgin and untouched (you can find them in Papua, NTB, etc)…
Visit Indonesia! Kudos and see you here
