Greetings!
We are arranging some trips to Riau Archipelago starting in January 2012 right through to March 2012. We hope you can join us.
The Riau Archipelago is a cluster of islands south of Singapore, of which Batam and Bintan are the best known. However, once one travels south past the developed Batam and Bintan, a window opens into a beautiful and seldom visited world of the past, that it is rarely dived.
This is a land of countless uninhabited islands, interrupted only by the occasional small fishing village. Most of the locals live much the way they did several hundred years ago, without TV, refrigeration, electric lighting, telephones, motor vehicles, roads, grocery stores, hotels or the other trappings of modern society.
Best of all, these islands are sheltered from the N.E. monsoon, allowing us to dive the region year round. Seas in the area are generally calm and the diving is relaxing with a max depth of 25m and an average dive depth of 10-18m. Suitable for all divers, from newbies to experienced, looking for somewhere new and different to dive.
Please see below detailed schedule and the dates for the first few trips, also on the sidebar are some photos taken around Riau late 2010.
Please go to our new online booking system to make you booking. Also, I thought I would add a snippet of recent news to my newsletters. My first is about a new species of dolphin found in Australia. It is named after an Aboriginal phrase that means "large sea fish of the porpoise kind". To view the full article please click on the dolphin picture on the left.
I look forward to diving with you soon.
