PAPUA BARAT / IRIAN JAYA - John Roach, for National Geographic News, August 8, 2001: Scuba divers, take note: The waters of the Raja Ampat Islands Papua Diving site off Indonesia's province of Irian Jaya or Papua Barat may replace heralded Palau as the most species-rich sea in the world.

The Raja Ampat island in Irian are group spreads out over a huge area and consists of over 610 islands. The four largest islands are Waigeo, Batanta, Salawati and Misool. The area's reefs are covered in a diverse selection of both hard and soft corals. Most of the areas reefs are pristine, with mile after mile of perfect hard corals, drift after drift of soft corals of many species and colors ranging from brilliant red, to shocking yellow pretty pink and exotic purple. Most reef dives are very colorful. Hopefully, we would be able to experience the best dives sites within those islands which include Cape Kri, Mellisa's Garden, Sardines Reef, The Passage, Nudibranch Rock, Wai Island Night Dive, and Mike's Point.
