RAJA AMPAT SPECTACULAR PLACE FOR DIVING & SNORKELING

The local people believe that the Raja Ampat region formerly ruled by four kings who hatched from four eggs. They shared the area and lived together in peace by establishing four territorial alliances, or traditional kingdoms. These four territorial ruled by the kings are now known as " PULAU WAIGEO, PULAU MISSOL, PULAU BATANTA AND PULAU SALAWATI". Together with around 600 smaller islands, these four mayor islands now comprise "RAJA AMPAT REGENCY". Administratively, Raja Ampat lies within the province of West Papua : geographically, it extends north and northwest from Sorong, covering 4.6 million hectares of waters.

Since 2003, Raja Ampat has been a newly - created regency, separate from Sorong. The administrative capital of Raja Ampat is Waisai, on Waigeo, the largest island in Raja Ampat, which is roughly the size of Bali. Raja Ampat is a maritime region located within the World Coral Triangle, which includes parts of the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Solomon islands.
