Description for the dive shop Raja4Divers - Indonesia
The Dive Centre is managed by experienced instructors. The team is backed by several qualified Papuan dive guides with sunny personalities and good eyes. While the Dive Centre is located in the main building at the start of the jetty, the wet / dry storage areas are conveniently located at the pier at the end of the jetty, where dive briefings are held and the dive boats are docked.
Rental gear is available in the Dive Centre as well as a library of marine reference guides. For maximum convenience, divers' personal diving gear is stored at the end of the jetty for the duration of the trip, and photographers are welcome to use the airconditioned camera room for storage and set-up of their imaging gear.
Pulau Pef is an exclusive private island under Swiss management and is open year round. It is located 48 km south of the equator and north of the Dampier Strait, 109km from Sorong, in remote central Raja Ampat West Papua Indonesia.
Raja4Divers on Pulau Pef redefines the Raja Ampat diving holidays by offering an authentic Papuan experience, one with nature, without compromising on quality, comfort and service. Along a palm fringed beach, the water bungalows are private and extremely spacious at 128sqm with en-suite indoor/open air private garden bathroom, large deck with incredible open views and Wi-Fi broadband internet. The landscape of Pulau Pef consists of mountainous terrain covered in lush jungle, surrounded by spectacular bays, white sand beaches, coconut palms, pristine blue water mangroves, hidden lakes, blue lagoons, limestone ‘mushroom islands, ancient rock art, incredible fauna and flora and some of the world’s richest reefs in every direction. The un-paralleled world class diving and snorkelling in the central Raja Ampat, is all about amazing diversity of species and habitats.
A myriad of dive sites and snorkelling locations can be found around Pulau Pef, with a large variety of habitats and experiences: lush colourful soft corals and gorgonians, hard coral gardens teeming with life, large schools of fish, superbly fishy reefs, caverns and overhangs, sea grass beds, pristine blue water mangroves, world war II wrecks, adrenalin filled drift dives, walls and slopes, giant Manta rays, wobbegong sharks, endemic walking sharks, macro critters, dolphins and whale sightings and pygmy seahorses as big as a grain of rice.
The Dive Centre offers Nitrox free of charge, there are no fuel surcharges for dive trips and the unlimited diving package offers the freedom to dive as much or as little as required. Diving is tailored to suit a fair mix of logistics, weather conditions, and guests’ wishes. Depending on the diving plan, surface intervals are often spent enjoying a picnic on a beautiful beach or exploring mangroves and islands.
For UW-imaging enthusiasts, the Raja Ampat is a known to be a hot-spot - a 'wide angle' feast for the eyes and a 'macro' delight. A airconditioned camera room for preparations and set ups is available.
Pulau Pef allows for a host of activities close to nature: Kayaking along it's many islets, bays, beaches, cliffs, lagoons and hidden lakes, for snorkelling, swimming, exploring, birding and photography; climbing to the top of the 'house' mountain for spectacular 360° views; hiking through the jungle; bird-watching; walking the jungle trail to private beach and aquamarine lagoon for sunbathing, relaxing and swimming; diving and snorkelling along the house reef's fishy colourful coral gardens, bommies and overhangs. Not to mention the many photographic opportunities: flora and fauna in the surrounding jungle, birds, views, beaches, islands and panoramic views on boat tours around the island. In all aspects, Raja4Divers fosters co-operation with the surrounding villages, from the first traditional island blessing ceremony to the daily resort activities, supporting the local economy by buying fresh fish and produce and using local materials at the resort, as well as employing and training many friendly Papuans from the nearby villages. Pulau Pef is simply put, a mini Raja Ampat all in one...

A truly amazing diving experience and fabulous resort.Have been all over the world diving,but this beats them all.
From arrival in Sorong you are made truly welcome and made to feel part of the family.
Topside is comfortable,spacious, and relaxing .
A huge airy dining room and library combine with the food prep area to create a homely experience,with the staff.
This building is built over the sea with open sides for fresh breezes to cool and allow you to view the jetty,beach and surrounding rainforests.
Western and local dishes are served every day,on a long table for guests and management.The local staff sit on an ajoining table.
All staff are soooper friendly,professional and attentive.
There is an extensive menu of drinks and snacks available at all times.
A bar area provides a venue for meeting fellow divers and staff to watch the sunset,most nights the locals provide entertainment singing and dancing.
A huge pizza oven made alfresco dining a delight.
I could go on and on .....
Diving is awesome,well organised dive centre and boats.Jolly dive staff are safe and professional but also “ laid back”.
Having fun is the order of the day!
Macro,muck,coral reef ,drift,hook up and watch,mangroves,lagoons,a photographers heaven!!
Needless to say we are going back.
SOON....
Wonderful place to visit again and again

This must be one of the top dive destinations in the world. It is the perfect mix of first class diving, beautiful secluded setting and a wonderful team that goes out of their way to make your experience exceptional.
With some many places to see in our world my wife and I seldom plan to go back to the same places. But this is a place well worth many visits.
I actually don't want to be write this review as I want to keep this destination a secret all to my self.

Absolutely the best diving vacation we ever had. The underwater world is pristine and we have never seen such a variety of critters as well as giant schools of reef fish and predatores. The resort itself is of the highest class while maintaining a connection to local people and the nature on the island. You will find great friends and have a fantastic time on this island thanks to the professional and caring staff. Also noteworthy; the great and very infomative presentation about marine life by resident marine biologist Lorenz. Not often that this level of education and information is offered in such a pleasent way.
