Daily Boat Diving in Raja Ampat
Explore the Legendary Dive Sites of the Dampier Strait
Located on Gam Island, Tarzan Diving gives access to more than 30 dive sites in Raja Ampat, many within just 15–30 minutes by boat. These include world-famous sites such as Cape Kri (holder of the world record for highest marine biodiversity recorded on a single dive), Blue Magic, Sardine Reef, and Chicken Reef. Other highlights, including Arborek, Sawandarek Jetty, Manta Ridge, and Manta Sandy, can be reached in around 45 minutes. During surface intervals, we often stop at remote islands, local villages, lagoons, mangroves, and white-sand beaches, adding another dimension to your diving experience. For those wanting to explore more of Raja Ampat, we offer full day adventure trips that combine 3 dives with iconic destinations such as Piaynemo Viewpoint, Batanta Waterfall, Gam Bay. These experiences showcase the outstanding beauty above and below the water, creating a truly memorable holiday. Tarzan Diving is also an excellent budget-friendly alternative to expensive resorts and liveaboards. Diving Conditions: Diving is possible year-round in Raja Ampat, with no distinct dry or rainy season. The months from June to October are generally windier, while occasional rain showers are part of island life and contribute to the lush tropical landscape. Visibility typically ranges from 15–30 meters. Summer often brings crystal-clear water, while winter visibility may decrease slightly due to plankton blooms. Divers welcome this, as plankton season usually coincides with manta season from October to April. During this time, manta rays are frequently seen feeding at the surface, and whale sharks and whales may occasionally appear. Water temperatures remain around 28–29°C year-round. A 3mm wetsuit is generally sufficient, although we recommend a full-length suit for protection from fire corals and other stinging marine life. Currents & Diving Style: Currents are a natural part of diving in Raja Ampat and can be strong. These currents bring nutrient-rich water to the reefs, supporting the incredible marine biodiversity the region is known for. Many dives are drift dives, and reef hooks are often used to safely enjoy the action. Hook in, relax, and watch sharks, manta rays, and large schools of fish pass by. For experienced divers and current lovers, Raja Ampat is a dream destination. However, beginners and those who prefer more relaxed diving can also enjoy Raja Ampat. There are calmer sites that are equally impressive. Current strength is often greatest during full and new moons. During high and low tide, currents are usually mild or absent, creating ideal conditions for beginners, macro enthusiasts, and photographers searching for Raja Ampat’s smaller treasures, including the famous pygmy seahorse. Safety & Conservation: Every diver begins with a check dive, and all dive plans are based on individual experience and comfort levels. Safety always comes first, and we dive within appropriate limits for each guest. We are committed to responsible diving practices and respect marine life at all times. We do not touch, chase, or disturb animals, and we never damage coral reefs. Visit Tarzan Diving and experience one of the world's most spectacular marine environments with us.

Safety

At Tarzan Diving, safety is at the heart of everything we do. All of our equipment, including boat engines, dive gear, compressors, and scuba tanks, is regularly serviced and maintained according to industry standards. This includes routine engine and compressor servicing, equipment maintenance, and hydrostatic testing of scuba tanks. Raja Ampat is known for its currents, making it a more challenging dive destination. Every diver, regardless of certification level, completes a check dive in calm conditions before entering current dive sites. We ensure all equipment, whether rental or personal, is functioning correctly and that divers are familiar with using it. We also assess buoyancy, diving experience, comfort in the water, and any physical concerns, such as equalization issues, before planning dives according to each diver's experience and ability. We dive in small groups, with even smaller groups for beginners. Every dive begins with a detailed briefing covering the dive site, underwater map, dive plan, and hand signals. We follow PADI safety standards, stay within recreational dive limits, avoid decompression dives, and promote responsible diving by never touching marine life or coral, protecting both the reef and divers from potentially venomous species. All guides carry Surface Marker Buoys (SMBs) for every ascent, although we strongly recommend bringing your own SMB in case you become separated from the group. We also provide reef hooks for every diver, allowing you to safely and comfortably enjoy current dives. Our boats are equipped with life jackets, 100% emergency oxygen, a comprehensive first aid kit, and drinking water to help prevent dehydration. The crew is trained in emergency procedures, first aid, and emergency communication, and remains in contact with the dive center throughout every trip. Safety is also the responsibility of every diver. Alcohol and drugs are strictly prohibited before diving. Please be honest about your physical and mental condition. If you are not feeling well, speak with us. A short conversation often leads to the safest solution.
Emergency Care
In the unlikely event of a diving accident, the nearest internationally recognized hyperbaric chamber is in Sorong. Although a chamber exists in Waisai, it does not meet international standards. Medical facilities in Raja Ampat are also limited.

Insurance
Dive insurance is mandatory in Indonesia. If you do not already have coverage, we can help arrange short-term dive insurance with DAN before your dives, ensuring you have access to the best possible medical assistance if needed. For example, 1-day coverage is about US $20, 3–5 days is US $40, and 11–30 days is US $60. Financially it makes more sense to get the yearly contract that starts at 40USD for the year.
