AT THE HEART OF WHAT WE DO

By staying at Papua Diving Resorts, you become part of the effort to protect this beautiful yet fragile environment. From offering schooling and sustainable employment for indigenous people to boosting shark populations, Papua Diving's aim is to leave this world better than we found it.

Education

Changing the future starts with education. Our Batanta Hope Island School brings free education to the remote village of Yarweser.

Conservation and Connection

Re-wilding Zebra Sharks

A second chance for zebra sharks in Raja Ampat and the world. Our RARCC Shark Nursery cares for zebra shark eggs and prepares the pups for release in the area to re-populate its numbers.

Local Papuan Guides Trained from the Ground Up

Protecting Raja Ampat

Preserve the culture, the islands and its reefs. Training the next generation of local guardians who will safeguard the beauty and culture of the region.

Meet Our Team

We proudly employ predominantly Papuan staff throughout our resorts. By doing so, over the years we have provided many people with alternatives to destructive forms of income such as dynamite fishing and shark finning. Besides other skills, many of our wonderful team are musically gifted and love nothing more than to sing and play guitar.
