Terimah kasi banyak für die super schöne Woche auf Pef Paradise!
Die Tauchgänge mit Mantas, Mobulas, Kuhnasenrochen und tausenden von bunten Riff-Fischen und die einmalig schönen Korallen werden unvergessen bleiben! Vielen Dank an Maya und allen Staff, und unsere "private" Bootscrew, die diese Woche für uns so einmalig und unvergesslich gestaltet haben! Hoffentlich auf ein nächstes Mal.

Liebe, lieber Maya, Sabine, AaaaaaaaaaRmin & Pef-crew
Wir danken für diese unvergessliche Woche, in der wir einige unserer schönsten Momente in unserem bisherigen Leben erleben durften. Sei es das Fischfüttern von "Bouze", das Tanzen mit der Pef-crew, das lebensfrohe Lachen unserer Schiffscrew oder das Tauchen mit den Mantas..... Diesen Ort darf man fast nicht nur einmal entdecken im Leben. Bis zum nächsten Mal!

2 wks flown by already??? How we wish to stay for a much longer time - maybe forever? So much have been said by the previous satisfied guests already, we can only echo their words. Pulau Pef is a wonderful place, so glad that the Raja4Divers management had the foresight to spot this location & built this beautiful resort. We love falling asleep to the sound of music from the waves (except on the stormy nights :-P) & the open-air toilet (restroom is a much better word). The management (Maya, Sabine & Armin) plus the wonderful, excellent, industrious, friendly staff gave this beautiful home a great soul. We have been spoilt rotten here! The attention to details are astounding. From putting down the mozzies net in the evening, to having staff waiting to pass us clean towels after the night dives (not to mention washing up the gear!). OMG! We can't go back to Earth now! Heaven is so Heavenly! Visiting Raja Ampat is the dream of many divers, we are glad to have fullfilled this dream in good style @ Raja4Divers! We are very priveleged to be in this underwater paradise. Raja Ampat is indeed special - huge napoleon wrasses, bumphead parrotfish, giant jacks, sharks & of course our favorite - mantas! We will write to the Court of Indonesia, via the tourism bureau - hope that this paradise would always be preserved! This is becoming too lengthy! So we shall end with: Thank you! Special mention: Nikson (wish that everyone would love his home - above & underwater like you), Danci (for saving Terence & of course the excellent spotting prowess), Yanis boat crew of Pef III & II (occasionally :-P). Everyone of the boat crew is great! We are just not good with names but we remember your smiles! Again: Jumpa lagi! Soonest!

Raja4Divers Resort has the makings of Heaven:
- its beautiful houses, made of traditional materials, are integrated perfectly into the pristine enviroment
- every visit to its house reef, mangroves or other diving / snorkeling sites is an unique experience and ...
- last but not least, it is organized by the SWISS.
French cooks, German waiters, English security and Italian entertainers are somewhat missing, but the cheerful staff makes up a lot for the lack.

Cosa dire di questo bellissimo posto? Le immersioni sono come le immaginario splendide. La cordialita e disponibilita di tutto lo staff (Locale e "straniero") ovviano alle problematiche che puo avere un villaggio "appena nato" ma che sicuramente potra svilupparsi al suo meglio in breve tempo. Un grosso in bocca al lupo a chi rimane e un grossissimo buone vacanze e relax a chi arriva.
