Half day trips
Diving with Manta rays There are a few cleaning stations around Raja Ampat where Manta rays are spotted. Soul scuba divers offer trips to Arborek where you have: Manta Slope, Manta Ridge, and Manta Sandy, and Wai Island where it is the Manta Wai cleaning station. During the manta season (typically mid-November to April), Manta rays come to this place to eat on plankton which is their main food source. The manta rays are attracted to the nutrient-rich waters that arrive in Raja Ampat during those months. This event also lowers our visibility but you can still have +20 meters of visibility. Manta Ridge - Advanced Is our favorite manta site as it has a beautiful reef along much of the site, but it is only for advanced divers. We provide reef hooks for every diver and most of the time you are hooked up, dive guides will help you hook in a good spot, near to cleaning station. Manta Wai - Beginner The cleaning station in Manta Wai is where we get the first sight of the Mantas. Shallow 18-meter dive with mild to moderate currents. The first dive site we do on this trip is a plane wreck where you need to be an advanced diver, the wreck lies on 30 meters. Open water divers can also join this trip and enjoy the Wai Reef or Arefi Reef Manta slope - Moderate dive site Manta Slope also has a higher variety of coral structures to enjoy and is an easier dive. Manta Sandy - Beginner dive site The cleaning station is protected by rocky reefs, hence that divers cannot pass, giving other options of diving around the other local dive sites you can witness Manta rays such as; Blue Magic, Lao Lao, Cape Kri, Ransiwar, and Sawandarek. Half day trip There are no hidden costs, the price includes: Two dives Equipment Dive guide Boat with crew Snacks with coffee and tea Things to keep in mind when diving with Manta Rays Cleaning stations are areas for Manta rays to go and get cleaned off from parasites by different reef fishies like surgeon fishies. It is important to follow the briefings of your guide, respect Manta Rays natural cleaning station, and give them peace to have their spa moment. Manta rays are filter feeders and they are harmless to humans. It is forbidden to touch or harass Manta rays. When you stay still, they will come super close to you, sometimes even touching the tip of your head with their bellies. Even when they come super close to you, respect the animal and don’t try to touch them. We give them space to respect their natural habitats, no one would like to be harassed when you have massage or spa treatment. People with cameras are prohibited from using flashlights, this powerful strobe or flashlight will harm the vision of the manta rays, you wouldn’t like to get blinded by strong lights while you having your relaxing moment 2 morning dives 1,700,000 IDR (we normally do one of the Manta locations and the 2nd dive either Arborek or West Mansuar) A single afternoon dive to Manta spots is 950,000 IDR Then if the afternoon dive is your 3rd dive then it's 850,000 IDR We subtract 100.000 IDR per dive for divers with their own equipment (BCD and regulator required). Keep in mind that the prices are per day; the more dives you do per day with us the cheaper each individual dive will cost. . Bird of Paradise “The early bird catches the worm” This half-day trip starts bright and early in the morning. This trip is for natural lovers, it is a bird watcher's dream come true. On this fabulous morning trip, you have a chance to see very rare species such as Bird of Paradise, Red Bird-of-Paradise, and Wilson's Bird-of-Paradise. These unique beautiful birds are natives of Papua and we are extremely lucky to be able to witness these birds here . The best chance to see these rare creatures is you need to be on Dore Atri Lagoon in Gam Island bright and early before the sun rises. For this reason, the trip starts from our dive center at 4.00 am in the morning. Dive site options when we are doing this trip are Batu Lima, Friwen Wall , or Miouskun. The stunning topography of the Batu lima (Five Rocks) will give interesting rocky formations in a shallow coral garden. Since there aren’t many walls in Raja Ampat this would be the perfect 2nd dive option. This trip is suitable for beginner-level divers. Half Day Trips are (2 dives): Birds-of-Paradise - 1,800,000 IDR Manta Ridge / Manta Sandy - 1,700,000 IDR Arborek - 1,700,000 IDR Plaine wreck + Manta Wai - 1,800,000 IDR Mansuar tour - 1,700,000 IDR

Coral restoration with sea people
The SEA People, known locally as Orang Laut Papua, is a field-based non-profit organization working to protect and restore the marine ecosystem of Raja Ampat. The SEA People, in collaboration with Soul Scuba, offers divers the opportunity to participate in reef restoration activities. Divers are given the opportunity to tour existing restoration sites and learn more about the state of Raja Ampat's coral reefs and why reef restoration is so important, before getting "hands-on" with transplanting corals alongside local community members. This trip includes 2 dives, all equipment, and lunch in a local village. Learn more about coral restoration efforts in our blog.
