A personal highlight for Claudia and myself in 2012 was the dive cruise on PINDITO from Ambon to Sorong last December. We had heard so much about Raja Ampat Diving and the Pindito that it was overdue to see for ourselves.

For those interested, find a more detailed report on our Diversion (B)log. For those who don't have time to read it, let me give you a quick run down:

Pindito with its 20 years of experience in Indonesia is still an outstanding operation in that part of the world. The coral reefs are so laden with living “stuff”, the services of Pinditos expert dive guides are essential to help you spot the individual critters. With three Zodiacs they make sure that you can enjoy the diving in small groups.
The various regional marine parks throughout Raja Ampat are already showing an improvement for the variety and number of fish life that can be seen. In terms of life variety and colours Raja Ampat is the centre of the tropical marine biodiversity.

Claudia and I took a couple of snaps and video clips with our compact camera and although they cannot compete with the results that our professional friends deliver, they give a good impression of what to expect.

We are so excited about PINDITO that we want you to experience it yourself. We decided to offer all our readers who want to book on Pindito in 2012 or 2013 an exclusive discount of USD 100.00, must be booked latest by 29th February 12. Please mention this offer in your email.

In November you can witness a Total Solar Eclipse in Australia!
Guess what…Cairns and Great Barrier Reef region is the only place in the world where you can experience the full glory of earth’s total solar eclipse on 14 November 2012. A total solar eclipse is not a phenomenon that occurs very often. The moon moves with amazing precision in front of the sun and in just a few moments, day changes to night.

Why not combine this event with a dive excursion from Cairns? Ask us for availability. As of now there are still a few spaces available on Spoilsport pre and post the Solar Eclipse, but be fast if you are serious about it, it will not be there for long!

From 10-16 November Cairns puts on a Solar Eclipse Arts and Music Festival to entertain all visitors from around the world. It is going to be big! For details check out www.eclipse2012.com
