In the early morning, I should wake up earlier to enjoy the beautiful sunrise from my hotel. After seeing the beauty of the sunrise, I need to breakfast and take a bath. Then packing my clothes to be brought to my next destination. Because I have to go home at this day. 

okay, at 08:00 am I want to reach Small Menjangan Island (Pulau Menjangan Kecil). I really want to do Snorkeling, hunting some pictures, and playing with cute fishes on the beach. 

Satisfied being at Pulau Menjangan Kecil. I would like to aim Pulau Menjangan Besar. In there, I can play with many turtles, and I can see the eggs of turtle above the sand. This island is very reccomended to visit. 

Huufft.. It would be an exhausting day. In the afternoon, I should go back home to Surabaya. I will be arrived at home at night, it spends 6 hours to be arrived at my home from Karimun Jawa.

Exploring Raja Ampat

Right now Raja Ampat is being one of the most popular diving spot in the world. For me as the dive lovers, Raja Ampat is the right place to visit.

The place to be for the spoiled diver. Recognized as the richest reefs of the world. No where else can you see so many species of fish and corals in one dive. That and the fact that Raja Ampat is so remotly located, makes diving here among the best in the world.

There are several liveaboards through the area, but you can also go to the landbased, smack in the middle, Kri Eco Resort or the (more expensive and luxurious) Sorido Resort. Both owned by Max Ammer. Max pioneered the area and knows the best dive sites.
