Squadron of Hope - Raja Ampat

A short video by Nu Parnupong documenting the richness of reef life around Misool, Raja Ampat, Indonesia.

Pilot whales in Raja Ampat

Raja Ampat, the center of the coral triangle, the area with highest marine biodiversity on earth, is an exceptional place for underwater photographers and underwater videographers. But sometimes, given by the unpredictability of nature some of the biggest marine wildlife spectacles can best be captured from the air.

Watch that exceptional movie of a large school of pilot whales taken - probably by the owner of the Pindito livaboard, Edi Frommenwile!

Bali - Underwater photography

Underwater photography from my last trip to Bali.

Staying at Alam Batu Beach Bungalow Resort (http://www.alam-batu.com) we explored a series of spectacular, mainly muck dive sites in the area.

Raja Ampat

Looking forward to another underwater photography trip to the heart of the coral triangle.

First a liveaboard (http://www.amira-indonesia.com) tour to Raja Ampat (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raja_Ampat) including the spectacular Wayag islands.

And second a stay at Lembeh (http://www.diverslodgelembeh.com) island with muck dives along the Lembeh Strait.

See my new book: The Heart Of The Coral Triangle

The present book is a photo report of a scuba diving exploration tour aboard the MV Raja Ampat Explorer in the Raja-Ampat and Triton Bay area in West-Papua, Indonesia. The tour took place in April 2009.

Starting point was the harbour of Sorong located at the north western tip in the indonesian part of the New Guinea main land.

The tour brought us to the most beautiful dive spots of Misool. From there via the Pisang Islands, Momon Waterfall and Kaimana to the Triton Bay area.

Triton Bay offers some of the most spectacular dive spots on earth by means of its marine biodiversity.

After exploring the islands around Triton Bay for a couple of days, we crossed the Ceram Sea again to reach Koon Island in the Banda Sea.

From Koon we transfered back to Misool and from there further north to Kri in the Raja Ampat area before ending our tour in the harbour of Sorong again.
