Cenderawasih Bay reveal a great diversity of diving and a real sense of the pioneer spirit of going where few others dare. Cenderawasih’s marine diversity has earned it the name “The Galapagos of Indonesia’s reefs”. As an indicator of biodiversity, the bay has 4 species of turtle: green, hawksbill, Pacific ridley and leatherback, as well as much sought-after marine mammals such as dolphins and dugongs.
In Cenderawasih Bay the main highlight is the presence of numerous whale sharks. Offer you the unique opportunity of spending hours diving or snorkelling with multiple Whale Sharks, Here the Whale Sharks gather together below fishing platforms, dining on the small fry that slip out of the fishing nets or are otherwise discarded by the fishermen.
Some of the photographic opportunities such behaviour offers to scuba divers are stunning. Imagine several whale sharks in your field of vision, from small juvenile to colossal mature adult, some hanging vertically in the water to access the fry near the surface. Spectacular!
There is no shortage of fascinating dive sites for those who prefer to nose around the substrate for the minute and marvellous. Cenderawasih also has its fair share of excellent macro with pygmies, tiger prawns, nudibranchs and sea snakes giving divers plenty of smaller stuff to marvel at.
