Papua Diving - Sorido Bay

Raja Ampat, near Pulau Mansuar, West Papua

About this dive shop

Our Sorido Bay Resort is newly built. The resort allows our guests to experience Western style comforts in a traditional Papuan setting. Located on a beautiful deep lagoon and white sand beach on Kri Island, the dive resort is central to the most spectacular dive sites in the Raja Ampat. While we strived to create a resort that is second to none, one of the best facts remains that our house reef is ""Cape Kri"" where Dr. G. Allen set his record for 374 reef fish species on a single dive in 2012. No other resort can beat that!!! Also several of our other TOP dive sites are just literally minutes away (Mikes Point 10 min, Chicken Reef 5 min, Sardines reef 8 min, etc.) The whole resort is built by divers for divers. On the jetty we have fresh water showers + a camera dedicated area (power 220V & 110V and running fresh water). Every bungalow has a back entrance with a back yard (privacy) with a place to hang wet suits and the like. All bungalows also have their own dedicated AC system helping you to stay cool from the Raja Ampat humidity. Once inside on your left is a 3.3 meter camera - video gear table. Two steps further is a large bathroom area with all western comforts such as a hot and cold water shower. This lay-out ensures the roomy bedrooms to stay sand free (especially your bed!!!). To reduce the sand problem and enable comfortable walking all resort buildings are connected by a 2 meter wide walkway which is lit by night.
