Raja Ampat is rightly known as the most biodiverse marine ecosystem in the world. The abundance of healthy coral reefs and marine species is a diver's dream. The Nudibranchs are one of our favourite marine creatures you can see during your visit to the region.

Find it on their socials at @Haystackrockawarenessprogram
