The Gentle Giants of Cenderawasih Bay (4K)

Описание: Liveaboard trip with the Whale Sharks and unexplored reefs of Cenderawasih Bay, West Papua, Indonesia.

It's the largest National Park in Indonesia, but remote and not easy to get there. It worth the trip. Not touristic, not developed, you won't find a souvenir shop in the National Park (yet).

Interesting aquatic life with so many endemics and other species which are rarely seen by recreational divers out of the bay. Untouched and pristine coral reefs. The unique opportunity of diving and swimming with the largest fish known on our oceans, the Whale Sharks.

The Whale Sharks in Cenderawasih Bay are protected and developed a different behavior with the fisherman for over decades, at least 50 years. Due this different behavior staying around at the fishing platforms, scientists could collect more data and even deploy satellite tags to better understand their behavior.

This was my last trip of 2022 season in Cenderawasih Bay and it was the cherry on the top! Amazing weather conditions, awesome group of divers and lots of Whale Sharks with good visibility!

I'll be back!
