• Day Nine: Awake next to the Farondi Islands with a peaceful sky and warm weather. Farondi’s dive sites make many divers’ list of favorite sites in Raja Ampat due to their unique and distinctive landscape of tunnels, caverns, and colorful walls. Jellyfish Lake is worth a visit to snorkel with thousands of jellyfish, though a challenging hike. You may also hike up to the top of the nearby viewpoint to see Misool’s best kept secret, a heart-shaped lake. Tomolol Cave, a collection of water-filled caverns located in an easily accessible depression in the limestone, is another possibility for a land excursion. Near the caves is a series of enigmatic red-ochre paintings high up on an exposed wall of limestone. These paintings are estimated to be between three and five thousand years old.

Enjoy an evening dive at Cendana Jetty, the fuel-loading pier of the Aljui pearl farm where you can find ghost pipefish, scorpionfish, cuttlefish, and wobbegong sharks.

The vessel will make a short crossing to the east towards Mansuar Island after dinner.
• Day Seven: Sawandarek Village is a picturesque place known for its long white beaches. Enjoy your last dive at the jetty, an absolutely stunning dive site. Historically, this has been a popular feeding area and for that reason, hundreds of fish congregate in and around the multicolored hard and soft corals along with octopi, massive turtles, and giant clams. This is an excellent site to photograph Pontoh’s pygmy seahorses, perhaps the smallest and most challenging species of pygmy seahorses to photograph. After your last dive, the crew will assist you with rinsing your dive equipment. You will have the afternoon to pack your luggage, during which time the Cruise Managers will be delighted to assist you with billing. Enjoy a celebratory sunset cocktail and dinner on your last night aboard Scubaspa ZEN before sailing back to Sorong.
