Sunday 10 to Sunday 17 October 2027 — seven nights at Kri Eco Resort in the Dampier Strait, Raja Ampat, Indonesia. ### How much does the trip cost and what's included? From €2,200 per diver plus flights. That covers seven nights' full board at Kri Eco, unlimited diving (up to four dives a day plus unlimited jetty diving), free Nitrox (EAN32) for certified divers, one full-day exploration excursion, and the included Expedition Academy masterclasses with an intro-to-tec certification option. ### What level of diver is the Raja Ampat trip for? Open Water certified and up. The sites are reef and wall dives at recreational depths, though the Dampier Strait can run current, so comfort with drift diving helps. A range of experience levels is welcome, with masterclasses and an intro-to-tec option for those who want to push further. ### When is the best time to dive Raja Ampat? October sits in the prime season (roughly October to April): warm water around 29°C, good visibility, and active reefs. It also overlaps manta season at cleaning stations like Manta Sandy. ### How do I get to Kri Eco Resort? Fly to Sorong (SOG) in West Papua — usually via Jakarta or Makassar — then take the resort boat transfer across to Kri Eco in the Dampier Strait. Transfer details are arranged once your place is confirmed. ### How do I book a place on the expedition? Places are limited to 20 guests with 2 instructors and the trip is currently accepting applications. Apply through the expedition enquiry form and we'll confirm availability and deposit details. --- **Source:** [https://donarundas.com/expeditions/raja-ampat/raja-ampat-2027](https://donarundas.com/expeditions/raja-ampat/raja-ampat-2027) **About the author:** Donarun Das is a TDI Trimix and KISS Sidewinder CCR instructor teaching technical and rebreather diving in the Maldives, Sri Lanka, and India.
