Operator Itinerary

This is the operator’s indicative itinerary. The captain and cruise director may change the sequence according to conditions, safety and marine-park regulations.

Day 1 — Meet the operator's team, embark, complete safety and dive briefings, and make a check dive when timing and conditions permit.

Core cruise days — Progress through Raja Ampat, Dampier Strait with up to three day dives and a night dive when the itinerary, conditions and guest experience allow.

Penultimate day — A reduced dive programme is normally planned before the final passage and required no-fly interval.

Final day — Breakfast and disembarkation at the confirmed port. This is a representative planning sequence, not a guaranteed site-by-site itinerary.
