The Itinerary

Symbiosis Diving – Back to Back Trips aboard Aggressor II

Indonesia is open again! Like so many divers we are excited and looking forward to next year’s trips. Friends tell us the reefs are even more spectacular as they have had time to rest and rejuvenate. We have chosen magical Raja Ampat at the time of year when, historically, conditions above and below the surface have been best. The cruise will take us from Sorong through the Dampier Strait and then down to Misool. The diving in Raja Ampat is, quite simply, out of this world. The reefs are a painter’s pallet of color and variety; home to over 1500 species of fish and more marine life than anywhere else on the planet. It is literally the center of marine biodiversity. Big animals are common here, with manta ray cleaning stations, shark sightings, schooling barracuda, and jacks. Get ready for sensory overload, the reefs in Raja Ampat literally buzz with life! They are completely covered in colorful sea fans, sponges, hard coral shallows, and fields of soft corals. In addition to the amazing reefs and fish life, you’ll see numerous nudibranchs, crustaceans, pygmy seahorse, and cephalopods.

The Ship

MSY Aggressor II (formerly MSY Tambora) is a 42m Phinisi, a traditional Indonesian ship design, which was built by master craftsmen on the island of Sulawesi. It is constructed entirely of ironwood and Javanese teak. Her cabins are spacious and well-appointed. Her captain and chief engineer have been with the ship since 2008. We know them both well and hold them in high regard. Guest safety, comfort, and satisfaction are a priority. The menu is a nice mix of international and local cuisine. Plentiful and tasty. The ship has the most comfortable tenders in Indonesia with plenty of space for gear and cameras (we call them the Cadillac’s of tenders). Dive groups are small offering a guest to guide ratio of 5:1
