The realm of the Four Kings remains untouched in a small corner of Papua New Guinea. Those who visit the kingdom of the Four Kings are mesmerized by its beauty and majesty. This group of islands near the northwestern tip of Papua New Guinea's Bird's Head Seascape lies in the heart of the famed Coral Triangle, which has been proclaimed by scientists as the most bio-diverse on the earth.
According to the Conservation International Rapid Assessment Bulletin, the marine life diversity for scuba diving in Irian Jaya is considerably greater than all other areas sampled in the coral triangle of Indonesia, Philippines and Papua New Guinea – the cream of the cream in world diving. Over 1,200 fish species – a world record 284 on one single dive at Kofiau Island, the benchmark figure for an excellent dive site of 200 fish species surpassed on 51% of Raja Ampat dives (another world record), 600 coral species , 699 mollusc species – again another world high. The term “Frontier Diving” seems to have been invented for Raja Ampat in Irian Jaya. The best way to traverse this beautiful area is by Diving Liveaboards where you can stay from 7 days up to 2 weeks for transition trips.
