As you glide eastward, the majestic Misool Daram Islands welcome you, leading to the iconic Misool Fiabacet and Boo Island, famed for their dramatic underwater topography and abundant marine life. Next, explore the intricate underwater world of Misool Wayilbatan, followed by the striking mushroom-shaped islands of Penemu. The expedition culminates with dives around Yangeffo Island and the exhilarating drift dives of Dampier Strait, renowned for large schools of fish and frequent encounters with pelagic species like mantas, sharks, tuna, and jacks. Throughout this spectacular route, you’ll complete 36 dives, encountering fascinating creatures such as the elusive rhinopias, frogfish, and mandarin fish, while keeping an eye out for blacktip and grey reef sharks as you disembark in Sorong.
