    Was für hammergeile Aufnahmen, nicht nur unter, sondern auch über Wasser. Die Mantas noch als absolutes Highlight dazu. Ganz großes Kino. Vielen Dank fürs mitnehmen und schön, wieder neuen Content von Dir zu bekommen, Andi.
    Viele Grüße Häign 😊👌

    Very nice work. Like how you approached the film with a gentle touch of soft music and some voice-over, but not too much. Good work!

      Hallo Dirk! Freut mich, daß er Dir gefällt. Mit der oft sehr schlechten Sicht hatten wir so unsere liebe Not, aber dafür haben die Viecher gut performt. :-) Schöne (F)eiertage! Andreas

    how does it work when you are a non-diver and want to do some scuba dives. I always read on the Liveaboard Trips 3-4 dives per day. I want to snorkel at many places and would like to do maybe 5-6 Scuba Dives on a 10 or 12 day trip. Is that also possible and is there an instructor on board? How was it at your trip? Was every guest a diver with a PADI dive license?

      Yes, on the Raja Laut, only certified divers were allowed. It's not possible for beginners to simply go on a liveaboard like the Raja Laut. You need a certain number of logged dives to participate. In our case, I believe it was at least 50 logged dives or so.
      The maximum number of dives per day is predetermined. With four dives, including the necessary surface intervals, breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner, you're occupied from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., or even longer in the case of a night dive or an early morning dive. Trust me, after doing that for eight days, you'll be in need of a vacation. 🙂However, no one is forced to dive. If you only want to do 6 dives instead of 24, you can do so. However, you still have to pay for all of them since the liveaboard is booked as a package with all the services included. The maximum number of dives during the whole trip can also vary. If the weather conditions don't allow it, the planned dive sites and routes can change quickly.
      Since there were no non-divers on our boat, I can't say how it would have been. It's possible that the provider may accommodate non-divers if there are still available cabins on the boat. However, in Raja Ampat many of the dive sites that are interesting for diving are not suitable for snorkeling. These sites often have strong currents, as they are where you can find interesting marine life such as sharks and manta rays. A dive safari operator would always go to places with good conditions for divers. If it's possible to snorkel there as well, non-divers may do that, but if not, non-divers have to stay on board and wait for the divers to return.
      We had three dive guides. Their level of certification ranged from Dive Master to Instructor.
      Just my personal opinion briefly. In Raja Ampat, there are amazing dive sites where you can see beautiful coral reefs, sharks and manta rays. You don't want to snorkel there, but rather experience as much as possible in the limited time available. And that can only be achieved through diving on most dive spots.
      Best, Andreas

    Hi, I am traveling to Indonesia this September, and wanted to check for liveaboard options for Raja Ampat. Something like 3-5 days visiting different islands and diving spots...
    Do you have any recomendation for me? Because I cannot such an offer online. Is it possibel to book it on spot?

    • @bluewavefilms-de

      I can recommend the liveaboard Raja Laut: www.rajalaut.com/
      To see which trips they offer in September you can check their website. Don't know if they or other liveaboards offer such short trips. I also don't know if it is possible to book it on spot. Normally the liveaboards are chartered by tour operators months or even years in advance.
