Stunning landscape of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat consists of a number of groups of islands situated off the northwest end of West Papua. It is one of the best places for scuba diving and its coral reefs are extremely rich with an amazing biodiversity. This picture has been taken from the viewing platform on the island Fam. We arrived on the small island Pef end of February and are now working in this stunnig part of the world. ;-) Read more about our new home on: http://www.swissnomads.com/2015/03/pulau-pef-in-raja-ampat/
