Raja4Divers - Pulau Pef
“Come as a guest, feel like a king and leave as a friend”
Pulau =

split
Raja4Divers located on Pulau Pef a scenic exclusive private resort island, in remote central Raja Ampat
West Papua.
The resort is under Swiss management and open year round. Fostering co-operation with the
surrounding villages in day-to-day activities, the operation supports the local economy by buying fresh
fish, produce, local materials, as well as employing and training many friendly Papuans from the nearby
villages. Raja4Divers redefines the Raja Ampat diving holiday by offering an authentic Papuan
experience, one with nature, without compromising on quality, comfort and service.
The pristine beauty of Raja Ampat both above and below the water is truly un-rivalled. Dramatic limestone island outcrops dot the azure ocean, while on the larger islands; coastal mountain ranges
punctuate the lush, verdant forest canopies that sweep downhill towards coconut palms on white sand
beaches. The incredible topside scenery is only the beginning - as soon as you drop beneath the
surface, a fairy tale wonderland awaits you. Raja Ampat is deemed a ‘species factory for marine life,
with scientists proclaiming the region as one of the Earth’s richest seascapes. These rich reefs are
home to 75% of all known coral species and more than 3000 species of reef fish.
Conservation is active in Marine Protected Areas in the Raja Ampat and also in the area around Pulau
Pef.
Pulau Pef is waiting to be explored, covered in lush virgin jungle, surrounded by spectacular bays, white
sand beaches, coconut palms, an array of world-class dive-sites and snorkelling locations, fish and
critters, pristine blue water mangroves, hidden lakes, blue lagoons, limestone ‘mushroom’ islands, and
ancient rock-art on karst cliffs, with incredible birds, wild orchids, monitor lizards, colourful butterflies
and much more.
The best way to describe Pulau Pef in a nutshell is a ‘Mini Raja Ampat’ all in one!
Page 3 of 18
Where is Pulau Pef?
The Raja Ampat translates as ‘Four Kings’ and comprises four island groups around the Bird’s Head
Peninsula of West Papua, in Indonesia:
Waigeo in the North, Batanta, Salawati and Misool to the South. Pulau Pef is located 110km (68mi) from
Sorong and 48km (30mi) south of the equator, in central remote Raja Ampat.
“This area which occupies the extreme end of New Guinea contains the world’s most diverse
assemblage of coral reef fishes.” (Dr Mark Erdmann and Dr Gerald Allen, 2009)

The Resort – open year round
Along a beautiful coconut palm fringed beach, Raja4Divers offers six authentic Papuan style water
bungalows on stilts. Spacious, light and airy, each bungalow is equipped with luxurious creature
comforts, en-suite indoor/outdoor garden bathroom, hot and cold water, while retaining rustic Papuan
authenticity. Fans, towels, soap, 3in1 shampoo, tissues and mosquito repellent are provided.
The design relies on proven traditional Papuan building methods, and blends with modern ideas in order
to maximise airflow and promote well-being, without compromising the natural surroundings. A large
front deck with steps into the water offers spectacular views particularly at sunset, where you can enjoy
an inescapable sense of being one with nature.
The resort offers a conveniently located professional Dive Centre, an air-conditioned Camera Atelier,
satellite Wi-Fi internet, kayaks, a library, all kind of games, petanque and chess.
The over-water restaurant serves a delicious cuisine fused with local and contemporary flavours, with
the emphasis on fresh produce and local flavours. The ‘sunset lounge’ is the place to meet and to share
the experiences of the day.
Besides the diving and snorkelling, beautiful Pulau Pef also offers a host of other exciting activities close
to nature - kayaking, swimming, jungle trails, birding, climbing the resort mountain for a spectacular view
or just relax in the hammock or lounge on your private deck, enjoying the breeze.

Diving & Snorkelling
The Dive Centre is managed by a professional PADI/SSI- instructor, backed by valuable local
knowledge and experienced dive guides. While the Dive Centre is located in the main building at the
start of the jetty, the wet and dry storage areas are conveniently located at the end of the jetty where
dive briefings are held and the dive boats are docked.
An air-conditioned camera room equipped with a 27” iMac is available for camera set-up and storage.
Equipped with a Bauer Mariner 320-E and a Bauer M250B compressor, as well as a Nuvair LP 280
Nitrox membrane system, Raja4Divers offers unlimited diving - up to three guided boat dives daily plus
a night dive and unlimited diving at the house reef. The use of Nitrox 32 is encouraged, and offered free
of charge to certified Enriched Air Divers. In order to become Nitrox certified, ask about completing the
PADI Enriched Air Specialty course during your trip.
Diving and snorkelling conditions are good year round, with the water temperature a constant 28-30°C
(82-86°F) and visibility averaging 10-20m. In the Raja Ampat in general it is normal for water visibility to
seem a tad ‘reduced’ due to the excessive amounts of nutrients present, which in fact nourish these rich
reefs via tidal currents. Currents converging around a point of reef can tend to cause a stupendous
diversity of fish schools to congregate, a phenomenon that has made the Raja Ampat famous.
The thickness of wetsuit neoprene versus Lycra skin is a personal preference. For divers and snorkelers
it is strongly advised to wear a full suit, as a barrier against hydroids on the abundant reefs and the
possibility of marine ‘stingers’ in the water. The use of gloves is strongly discouraged to enforce
protection of the reef: ‘TAKE ONLY PICTURES AND LEAVE ONLY BUBBLES!’
In order to maximise comfort and convenience it is highly recommended to bring your own soft-gear:
wetsuit, mask, snorkel, fins and booties. Limited rental gear is available: BCD, regulator, dive computer,
and dive torch, however in order to avoid disappointment be sure to book items at least 60 days in
advance.
The dive boats are fast, quiet and fuel efficient by using twin Yamaha 50hp 4-stroke outboard engines.
The dive boats are equipped with built-in shade protection, and have been specially custom fitted for
maximum comfort, with a ratio of one dive guide to four divers and a max of eight divers per boat. Each
dive boat is equipped with standard safety equipment - First Aid kit, First Aid Oxygen, tools, compass
and 2-way radio, as well as dedicated padded camera crate, drinking water and towels on all trips.
Dedicated diving insurance such as DIVERS ALERT NETWORK (or similar), which covers emergency
evacuation, is mandatory, since the Raja Ampat is extremely remote. Conservative diving and safety
practices are strongly encouraged, dive computers are mandatory and the focus is strictly on nondecompression diving, with slow controlled ascents. An SMB (surface marker buoy) is mandatory, and
will be issued if required to all divers for the duration of their trip.

Health, Safety and Liability
All guests must sign a liability release upon arrival.
Please consult your doctor for inoculations advice!
Malaria is present in Papua.
Although there are surprisingly very few mosquitos on the island itself, it is recommended that you take
care and exercise common sense, particularly at dawn and dusk. The liberal use of mosquito repellent
is highly recommended, especially when passing through populous areas such as Sorong. Bear in mind
that some malarial prophylactics cause adverse reactions in divers e.g. Lariam (Mefloquine), so please
discuss your travel plans with your doctor /travel clinic.
All diving guests must be certified Scuba Divers, and must present a valid Scuba Certification Card
upon arrival.
Diving guests using Nitrox must present a valid Enriched Air Certification Card upon arrival.
Diving computers are mandatory. All diving guests must dive with a computer whether owned or

Raja Ampat is a remote area. Diving is ‘non-decompression’ and conservative diving practices are
strongly encouraged. An SMB (Surface Marker Buoy) is also mandatory, should you not have your own
you will be issued with a loaner.
Diving insurance is mandatory. All diving guests must have dedicated diving insurance (such as Divers
Alert Network), which covers for emergency evacuation, and all divers must present valid proof/
membership card upon arrival. The Raja Ampat is very remote. The nearest Hyperbaric chamber is
located in Manado (Sulawesi).
Divers Alert Network (DAN) membership is highly recommended. Contact DAN in your area for details.
More information here Travel insurance is not equivalent to dedicated diving insurance and may not
cover emergency evacuation for diving related incidents.
Diving guests who have previously experienced DCS (decompression sickness) must bring a letter of
