After more than 3 years of planning and paying *roll ,our trip to Raja Ampat was finally becoming a reality .
4 flights from Chicago to Tokyo ,to Jakarta Indonesia to Sarong Papau New Guinea . Some where around 27 hours of flight time.Heck even going to the bathroom was differant

What dive wouldn't be complete without a few sharks ?
Even the airports were fun to walk through

Timm. All I can say is WOW. In monster 30 point script and bright red.
Thank you for those photos. While I prefer to stay on the top of the water a bit of light snorkel diving is a pleasure.
OUTSTANDING!
