Finishing Raja Ampat

We have had a great time diving in Raja Ampat but its time to 

stow the dive compressor, park Illimite' and fly back to family for Christmas

Speaking of family we did see a couple guys with faces

that only a mother could love

such as this Raggy Scorpionfish

and Crocodile Flathead

It seems most divers here do live aboard dive boats

such as this one.  They are all over the place

Diving in Raja Ampat can be difficult as you have to time

the tides right to avoid strong current as in this video

We had a final happy hour ashore with some friends

and got in a little swing time

MERRY CHRISTMAS

and

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
