I've been diving for years but Raja Ampat was something else. The underwater world, the sailing between islands, the people on board โ€” it all just came together perfectly. By day three the boat felt like home and the group felt like old friends

I almost didn't go. A sailing trip with strangers on the other side of the world felt like a big leap. But from the moment we left the harbor it just clicked. The diving was incredible, the pace was perfect, and I came home with people I know I'll travel with again
