BITTENBYSHARKS PRESENTS:
A guided photographic expedition to Raja Ampat, Indonesia.
Improve your underwater photography skills while on location in paradise!
Professional underwater photographers and PADI instructors, Leon and Claudia, will take you to the top underwater destination in the world!
Raja Ampat, in the far eastern corner of Indonesia is a group of more than 1300 islands that are virtually undiscovered and under-populated, thankfully free of political turmoil and major natural disasters.
It is here that one finds the world’s richest reefs; an underwater spectacle that is beyond comprehension. Conservation International led expeditions to the area during 2006 where they discovered 52 new species of fish and reef-building coral as well as two new species of sharks!
The region is being hailed the 'epicenter of biodiversity' - the richest reefs on our planet.
13 and 20 day expedition to Raja Ampat departs 29th MAY 2008– book now to avoid disappointment!
