Scuba Dive Center
Raja Ampat
Accommodation
​While our dive center Tarzan-Diving doesn`t offer accommodation, you can stay in one of the surrounded affordable homestays. We fully support local owned homestays. To avoid competition with local families we decided not to dive with guest, who are staying at a locally owned homestay with their own dive center. If you would like to dive with us, please make sure there is no dive center at your homestay.
Just contact Tarzan-Diving, so we can help you to find a lovely affordable homestay, close by. We offer pick-up within 3 km, price: 100.000 IDR per person. If you prefer to stay further out, or in any other homestay than mentioned: please organize the pick-up on your own. Your homestay will help you organizing the transfer.
We directly partner with Tau Yado and Papuani homestays, which are run by siblings Petrus and Nelce Wawiyai and their families. Both homestays are heartwarming places to stay, and are located directly beside Tarzan-Diving, Tau Yado to the left side and Papuani to the right.
