I was so excited to do my first night dive at Eco Cove Resort . It was a gorgeous night and we went into the water off the Resort jetty around 7pm. Each diver has a flash light / torch. It is a whole new experience in the water after dark, tons of activity from things that are generally hidden or sleeping during the day. I had no idea that lobsters dart / swim quickly thru the water, like an octopus - I thought they only crawled like a crab! We saw a two foot lobster, fly by right away. Lion fish were plentiful, floating in from all directions!

Raja Ampat is amazing - everytime I dive or even snorkel I see so many new fish or coral. The landscapes below water is so varied - walls, reefs, ridges, rims or plateaus and teaming with wildlife - it makes the Great Barrier Reef of Australia just so-so! Before each dive we get a briefing on the boat of the landscape, best approach and highlights typically seen in area.
