Sitting on the edge of mountainous island Kri Eco Resort is shaded by palm trees that run along a fine white beach. Many of the guests like it for its peaceful location, natural surroundings and tropical island beauty. Papua Diving was the first dive operation in the Raja Ampat area ever. They have been in Raja Ampat for more than 20 years now, gaining immense knowledge about the area, working closely with the local Papuan people.
Kri Eco Resort is a simple, but comfortable dive resort located in the pristine surroundings of Kri Island. It is located approximately 90 minutes by boat from the airport of Sorong.
Kri Eco Resort consists of traditional water bungalows and offers traditional Papuan accommodation with excellent food and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Just some fin-kicks off the shore you can discover the beauty of the reefs.
All water bungalows were built with local materials and offer: a choice of double or twin beds, electric fan, mosquito nets, 24 hours electricity, shared 'mandi' type bathroom, fresh drinking water, camera table with multiple sockets and free laundry service.
The deluxe water cottages the same features as the water cottages. They are more spacious, have a private bathroom with hot water.
The resort is truly part of nature and every morning you are awoken by an orchestra of birds.
Papua Diving offers custom diving with maximum 6 divers per boat and with at least 2 dive guides. Nitrox is available. Packages offer 3 guided boat dives per day plus an optional night/dusk dive.
Kri Eco Resort is located in the midst of gigantic reef systems encompassing virtually hundreds of dive sites with diverse topology and life which can be reached with relatively short boat rides. The immediate area around the resort is known as the 'bulls eye of biodiversity': home to the richest reefs on the planet and certainly the most 'fishy' dives found anywhere on earth.
From mucky shallow bays with shrimp gobies, octopus, nudibranchs and "twilight zone" critters; to lagoon channels overhung by rainforest; to rock islands undercut by the sea and covered with a kaleidoscope of tunicates and corals; to offshore reefs with raging currents supporting an unbelievable variety of colorful soft and hard corals and fish, lots and lots of large fish, the diversity of sites seems endless.
