Not too long ago we had the pleasure of taking award-winning photographer & filmmaker Mattias Klum around northern Raja Ampat to do a documentary for National Geographic. We spent two days diving at the colorful Anita's Garden and Fam wall, followed by a dive in Eagle Rock near Kawe where feeding mantas are often seen in a profusion of fishes. We then headed to Wayag and Uranie for three days of diving. There are lots of grey reef sharks here and the area is continuously patrolled from trawlers. We climbed up a limestone karst to see the beauty of Wayag isles formations. Our final day was spent by the pearl farm, where wonderful sorts of micro critters can be found.
With Mattias' documentation of Raja Ampat comes SOS Challenge - a project to "inspire people to care about the ocean."
We look forward to having Mattias and his staff aboard Putiraja Liveaboard again before the year is over.
