In fact, it may also be recognized as number one for the completeness of underwater flora and fauna at this time.
According to Dr. John Veron, a coral experienced experts from Australia, the site it is revealed, the Raja Ampat Islands located at the westernmost tip of the island of Papua, about 50 miles northwest of Sorong, the region has the best reefs in Indonesia. About 450 species of coral had been identified during the two weeks of research in that area.

As a result, they note in these waters there are more than 540 kinds of hard corals ( 75% of the total species in the world), more than 1,000 species of reef fish, 700 species of molluscs, and the highest record for gonodactyloid stomatopod crustaceans. It makes 75% of the world's coral species are in Raja Ampat. There is no one place where the same area has a number of coral species as much as this. Wah variety biologically very rich.
There are some reefs are still very good condition with the percentage of live coral cover up to 90%, ie in Dampier Strait (strait between the island and the island Waigeo Batanta), Kofiau Islands, archipelagic Southeast Misool and Wayag Islands.

Unique species that can be found when diving is some kind of dwarf sea horse, wobbegongs, fish and manta rays. Also there are endemic fish Raja Ampat, namely Eviota king, which is a kind of fish gobbie. At Manta Point which is located in Dampier strait Arborek, you can dive in the company of some tail Manta Rays benign like when you dive in Derawan Islands, East Kalimantan. If you dive at Cape Kri or Chicken Reef, you can be surrounded by thousands of fish. Sometimes a collection of tuna, giant trevallies and snappers. But stressful if we are surrounded by a collection of barracuda, actually it is relatively harmless (which is dangerous if we see a solitary barracuda or alone). Reef sharks are also frequently seen, and if you are lucky you can also see turtles were quietly eating sponge or swim around you. In some places like in Salawati, Batanta and Waigeo also seen Dugong or mermaid.
Because the area of many islands and narrow straits, then most of the dive at a particular time because it has a strong current. It is also possible to do a drift dive, dive, followed by a strong current of water is very clear as he broke through schools of fish. Waooowww Cool can be an adventure.
The rest of the plane wreck from World War II can be found in some of the dive sites, such as on the island of Wai.
Biodiversity in the Raja Ampat has made itself have a high level of threat as well. It can be seen from damage to coral reefs and forests, which at meyebar. Damage to coral reefs in general is due to fishing activities which are not environmentally friendly such as bombs, cyanide and roots bore (liquid from the processed roots of a tree similar to fish poison). Wah persons who are not responsible.
