5 TOURISM FACTS ATTRACTION The oceanic natural resources around Raja Ampat give it significant potential as a tourist area. Many sources place Raja Ampat as one of their top ten most popular places for diving whilst it retains the number one ranking in terms of underwater biodiversity. According to Conservation International, marine surveys suggest that the marine life diversity in the Raja Ampat area is the highest recorded on Earth. Diversity is considerably greater than any other area sampled in the Coral Triangle composed of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and East Timor. The Coral Triangle is the heart of the world's coral reef biodiversity, making Raja Ampat quite possibly the richest coral reef ecosystems in the world. 1,508 fish species, 537 coral species (a remarkable 96% of all scleractinia recorded from Indonesia are likely to occur in these islands and 75% of all species that exist in the world), and 699 mollusc species, the variety of marine life is staggering. Some areas boast enormous schools of fish and regular sightings of sharks, such as wobbegongs. Raja Ampat Islands have at least three ponds contain unpoisoned jellyfish, all in Misool area. ACCESSIBILITIES Raja Ampat Regency are relatively easy to reach by both domestic and international tourist. Tourist could access via air flight from the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta City to Dominique Edward Osok Airport in Sorong City, then continue by either via air flight by using Susi Air flight to the Marinda Raja Ampat Airport or by the local Ferry connecting Sorong City and Waisai City.
