Interested in visiting two of Indonesia’s top dive destinations in one cruise?  Do you like getting off the beaten path and exploring areas that are seldom visited by others (even by Indonesian standards!)?   Then this is the cruise for you!   Paradise Dancer’s 14 day relocation cruise begins in Sorong (Raja Ampat) and finishes in North Sulawesi (Biting / Manado).   This is an active diving cruise where divers will complete 3-4 dives each day as the yacht transits the route between the two destinations.  Some sites are known – others are on our “exploration checklist” and are areas we have heard about and want to invest some time in checking out.  Learn More >
