LENGHT: PREREQUISITE: PRICE: 9 days / 8 nights AOWD, min. 15 dives From 2600 USD per person OVERVIEW

In 2008 Kaimana declared a 6000 sq km Marine Protected Area around the waters of Kaimana and Triton Bay. The marine biodiversity here is second to none and continues to surprise divers with new finds every time. Triton Bay offers something for everyone both above and below the waters. And best of all, you will be one of only a few divers enjoying the waters in this very remote area.

For the majority of dives in Triton Bay it is not necessary to venture deeper than 20m as the shallower parts boast the best coral and fish action. Unfortunately the price we pay for the speculator soft corals gardens and masses of schooling fish of every shape, color and size, is reduced visibility which varies considerably, but averages around 10 ~ 15 meters.

Please note visibility can be as low as 5m or over 25m as it is dependent on weather and currents/upwelling. We try to plan our dives accordingly. Water temperatures vary between 28-29 degrees Celsius during the diving season and drop down to around 24 degrees during the eastern monsoon (June ~ Sept). DIVING PLAN (min. 23 dives)
