Diving in Raja Ampat

After a delightful experience in Bali, we flew to Sorong regional airport and meetup with other six divers.  From the airport, a relation guest from Sorido Bay Diving Resort sorted our luggages into a taxi that took us to a dock where we boarded an eight passenger boat for about an hour ride to Kri Island.

What followed were seven days of world class scuba diving, two in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.
