Indonesia's Bird's Head Seascape: Dive into the World's Most Diverse Marine Eco-system.

(Dive Travel Business News - February 10, 2012) -- Where can divers swim with the world’s most diverse fish and coral species, gawk as a squadron of mantas swoops overhead, or poke around World War II wrecks? In Diving Indonesia’s Bird’s Head Seascape, the sequel to their Diving Indonesia's Raja Ampat guide, authors Burt Jones and Maurine Shimlock use never-before-published images and maps to show readers where and how to dive beyond Raja and experience the reefs scientists have confirmed to be the planet’s richest.

More than 200 dive sites from Triton Bay, Cenderawasih Bay and Raja Ampat, the three regions that comprise Indonesia’s Bird’s Head Seascape, are described along with information on which camera setup to use and what animals divers can expect to encounter. Travelers will also find useful information on how to access each area’s myriad shore-based attractions.

The Bird's Head Seascape is located in northwest Papua, Indonesia, stretching from Cenderawasih Bay in its eastern reaches to the Raja Ampat archipelago in the west and the FakFak-Kaimana coastline to the south. At the moment, divers rate
Raja Ampat as one of the world’s premier regions, but this book will elevate its sister destinations by introducing divers to the incomparable reefs found throughout the entire Bird’s Head Seascape. Recording over 1,500 species of reef fishes,  blue whales, whale sharks and manta rays, the Bird’s Head Seascape unquestionably ranks as a crown jewel in world marine biodiversity.
