My friends and the media are invited Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy and the Government of Raja Ampat, choose Waiwo as a spot for snorkeling, Waigeo Island. Waiwo location not far from the capital of Raja Ampat in Waisai.
Towards Waiwo Friday (19/10/2012) and then, we took a road trip up and down the hill, not over 1 hour from Waisai. The natural beauty of the district carved out 9-year-old is very intriguing. The road we traveled was casted cement, because the landscape is tortuous. On either side of the road, lined leafy trees very high nan. The air was still fresh, despite the scorching heat typical of Papua burning the skin.
Diving and snorkeling spots in Waiwo, are in a very comfortable resort. Several shades of wood and thatched cottages tassels arranged neatly. The rent of Rp 450 thousand per head per day. The rent per room not per person but the stay. Expensive is not it? However, quite in keeping with the charm of the natural beauty that we can enjoy.
But, this time we did not stay at the tourist lodges. Our goal is to Waiwo for snorkeling and diving! We walked straight to snorkeling and diving equipment rental, not far shore Waiwo. To rent a relatively cheap tool, and its use is not restricted day. Our snorkel equipment rental amounting to Rp 50 thousand, while the diving equipment, the price is $ 500 thousand.
After selecting suitable equipment, we immediately run leads to a wooden bridge pier, about 500 meters out to sea. The color of sea water in the green Waiwo clear, colorful fish swirling around the pillars of ironwood dock people's buffer.
In the middle of the wooden bridge was built thatched houses, a very exotic look from the shoreline. This is where we were wearing diving equipment. We then descended the stairs, and 'byurr' busy-busy we plunge into the clear water nan
