Raja Ampat Liveaboard Adventure aboard the Velocean

February 27 – March 7, 2029

Join Arizona Dive Center for an unforgettable journey to Raja Ampat, Indonesia — widely considered one of the most spectacular scuba diving destinations on the planet. Located in the heart of the Coral Triangle, Raja Ampat is famous for its unmatched marine biodiversity, crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and breathtaking island scenery.

Our 2029 expedition aboard the beautiful Velocean liveaboard offers divers the opportunity to explore remote reefs, dramatic pinnacles, colorful soft corals, and thriving marine ecosystems that few places in the world can rival. Divers can expect encounters with manta rays, reef sharks, massive schools of fish, sea turtles, wobbegong sharks, pygmy seahorses, and an incredible variety of macro life and pelagic species.

The Velocean provides a comfortable and luxurious floating dive resort experience while allowing access to Raja Ampat’s most remote and pristine dive sites. Between dives, guests can relax onboard, enjoy stunning sunsets over limestone islands, and experience the beauty of Indonesia’s untouched paradise.

This once-in-a-lifetime adventure is perfect for divers seeking world-class diving, incredible underwater photography opportunities, and the experience of exploring one of the last truly wild marine environments on Earth.

Spaces for this expedition are expected to fill quickly. Contact Arizona Dive Center for trip details, pricing, and reservation information.
