Papua Diving Resorts are the pioneers of sustainable tourism and diving in Raja Ampat. Our award-winning resorts are PADI Five Star. Where lush jungle meets clear, warm waters and the richest reefs on earth, let yourself embrace an escape like no other.

Papua Diving Resorts provides two world-class options to stay on Kri Island: the more traditional Kri Eco Resort, and upscaled boutique Sorido Bay Resort.

Founded in 1993 by Anita and Max Ammer, Papua Diving Resorts are the pioneers of sustainable tourism and diving in Raja Ampat. As a PADI Five Star Dive Resort, we provide outstanding service that goes hand-in-hand with conservation. By employing local Papuans, Papua Diving Resorts strives to support the local communities and protect the cultural heritage of the area.

With over 30 years of operation in Raja Ampat and award-winning commitment to the people and environment of Papua, Papua Diving Resorts’ experience and impact are unrivalled. This makes us the natural choice for ocean enthusiasts.

Our founder, Max, has been diving and exploring Raja Ampat since 1990, discovering the dive sites the area is so famous for. Paying tribute to his family, Max named a few of the dive sites after his wife and children, including Melissa’s Garden and Mike’s Point, as well as coming up with quirky names like Chicken Reef and Sardine Reef because of his experiences while diving there for the first time.

Our mission at Papua Diving Resorts is to provide education and training for the local indigenous Papuan villagers, where they can take the skills and knowledge and apply it to their livelihoods.

Creating partnerships with locals in the nearby villages, Max sought to provide one-of-a-kind guest experiences to see and photograph the Red and Wilson Bird of Paradise, seen only in Raja Ampat. Aligned with our mission at Papua Diving Resorts to protect nature and empower the local people, a portion of our proceeds go back to these local partnerships.
