At Arborek Dive Shop, our operations are guided by a commitment to environmental sustainability, supporting local communities, and promoting cultural exchange. We believe in responsible tourism that protects the environment, empowers local people, and fosters mutual respect between visitors and the indigenous communities of Raja Ampat.

Arborek Dive Shop is honored to have been recognized for our dedication to sustainable tourism. Our founder, Githa Anathasia, received the prestigious Australia Award for Sustainable Tourism Management, and we have been actively involved in coral restoration and community conservation efforts since our inception.

Raja Ampat is renowned as one of the most biodiverse marine environments on the planet, located at the heart of the Coral Triangle. Its waters are home to over 1,500 species of fish and 500 species of coral, making it a diver’s paradise. Reef manta rays glide gracefully through the currents, especially in the Dampier Strait, where you can witness their majestic movements at sites like Manta Sandy. Our divers frequently encounter sharks, including blacktip, whitetip, and wobbegong sharks, along with large schools of barracudas, jacks, and snappers.

Raja Ampat’s reefs are teeming with vibrant soft corals, home to creatures like pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs, and turtles. You may also occasionally encounter dolphins and dugongs in waters surrounding Arborek. Arborek Island's astonishing marine life makes every dive a breathtaking experience, offering something new with each dive.
