Comments Alcohol is VERY expensive in Indonesia, buy duty free to take on board. Or, they have very reasonable prices on beer and alcohol in case you don't carry or decide you want something. Be careful at the airport about buying a buddy a drink ... I think i spent around 25/30 $ by not checking the price first !

Dive Policy

Dive own profile yes
Enforced diving restrictions We dive in groups of up to 8 per panga. We leave at separate intervals in order to not crowd each other. Can be a pain if you're shooting pics or just really slow. But I LOVE Raj Ampat and Can Hardly wait to go back. I've been on the Arenui 3/4 times and have 2 more trips booked. 5 star boat
Liveaboard? yes Nitrox Available? yes
