Our first guests have just arrived for our 2024-25 season, including some repeat guests, and our team of 30 have welcomed them with open arms. Many of our staff have been with us a long time – Do you recognize any of them?
Some amazing photos of birds found in and around Triton Bay Divers resort. Thanks so much Colin for sharing.
The team here at Triton Bay Divers are excited to provide you an update on improvements we have made over the past year to both the resort and our operations.
Triton Bay Divers now has a new dedicated transfer boat that is larger and much more comfortable and allows us to get guests to the resort in a little over an hour.
Due to demand, we have also added two new Garden Rooms, which are modelled on the Deluxe Seaview (beach front) guest rooms and have a partial sea view. Because we like to keep our dive groups small we have also added a new dive boat to cater for the additional guests, bring the total to 4, and added to our team, now with 28 staff to service our guests.
We are also excited to announce that we now have a dedicated camera room, for those that prefer not to bring their cameras back to their rooms after each dive, and have expanded the dive center, now with its own dedicated compressor room.
Triton Bay Divers is very excited to be able to announce some new additions to our Team.
Vincent Chew who is from Singapore and owns both Blue Manta and White Manta Liveaboards. He has been working in the diving industry for many years and brings with him a vast experience in dive operations.
Nurul Yazid, who is an award winning professional underwater photographer from Malaysia, having been featured in several magazines. She has over 7 years’ experience running a resort on Pom Pom Island in Malaysia.
And Jack Sumantry, from Ambon, Indonesia, who brings many years’ experience of working at resorts and on liveaboards. He also runs a local Yayasan/NGO educating children on the importance of marine ecosystems.
This new lineup injects fresh energy and knowledge into Triton Bay Divers and we are confident that you, our guests, will benefit. We are all looking forward to making Triton Bay Divers and your experience with us the best it can be.
We look forward to welcoming you to our little piece of paradise!
The Team wish Jimmy Thai luck in his future ventures.

This past season we had the pleasure of hosting Alex as he was looking to get footage for his newest Out of the Black & Into the Blue series of underwater videos. He managed to capture the essence of Triton Bay: the beautiful soft corals, massive schools of fish, whale sharks, and the wonderful critters we all love so dearly. These are the things we see often, but aren’t able to show to the world except through videos such as this one. We’re honored to have been a part of the process and are very grateful to Alex for producing this.
Back about a couple of months ago we spent seven fabulous mornings snorkeling with whale sharks in Triton Bay Indonesia. There were as many as four at a time. They are attracted to the bait fish fishing platforms and if we feed them some of the baitfish, we can move them to the back of Antares. Dolphins, tuna, and mackerel joined the frenzy. In Indonesia this whale shark experience can be had in Cenderwasih, West Nusa Tenggara, and Triton Bay. Triton Bay was by far the best as the water was clear and the sharks show up every day.
Most people come to Triton Bay to experience the magnificent reefs and marine life that we have, but that is not all Triton Bay has to offer. There is also some great flora and fauna to be seen throughout the region. Here is a little taster…
After a shout out to some of our previous guests and others who visited Triton Bay, we have managed to help Conservation International identify 8 new Whalesharks that are visiting the region. Six are from Triton Bay itself and two from Cenderawasih Bay. If you have any Whaleshark images that shows the ID Spot (please see our earlier blog) please feel free to share them with us and Conservation International. You never know you may have one that has not yet been identified and you can name it!!!
We would like introduce you to our newly named Whalesharks:
Firstly, those identified by our Guests: Rob & Susie Andrews, Marie Tartar and Faye Simanjutak.
Steven Genkins (Seadoc) managed to identify 5 new whalesharks, and named one after each of his immediate family member and their pet Dog Tyrion!
After some 23 years since first stepping foot in Triton Bay, Joerg Meier returned this time with family and friends to revisit some of his old haunts and relive the beauty above and below the waves… this is his story….
” None of us can claim 2020 turned out as planned. And with the first month of 2021 gone, it looks like we face another challenging year ahead. Most travel plans in 2020 – including team-ups with German family and friends – did not work out. The positive aspect of negative things was a longer than usual retreat to the remoteness and biodiversity of West Papua. The journey started with two weeks in Batbitim, a tiny island in southern Raja Ampat and Misool Eco Resort’s home. I’m privileged to be a shareholder since 2007. It then continued to Triton Bay, east of Kaimana, in the south eastern part of West Papua’s Bird’s Head’. I first encountered the astonishing beauty and majesty of Triton Bay 23 years ago, in early 1998. Back then, I ventured into the unknown with little more information than this place with its stunning landscapes was supposed to be one of the last untouched paradises in Indonesia’s vast archipelago. There was an interim encounter with Triton Bay in 2009 – cruising on a liveaboard – but only now I had the opportunity of revisiting some of those sites I first discovered in 1998. Ending 2020 observing a stunning sunset over Kalig Island, starting 2021 with a storm approaching Batbitim’s North Bay, to then continue to Triton Bay Divers revisiting majestic Triton Bay, this time with my little family, was the best possible way to end gloomy 2020 and welcome 2021 in good spirits. Some 55 dives later, topped with lagoon and jungle excursions, now back in Jakarta, we already miss that remoteness, the diving, and being exposed to the sounds of nature. Belated Happy New Year 2021 to all of you – stay healthy, safe and sane! ”
From Joerg’s images below, I think we can all agree Triton Bay is beautiful above and below the waves!
Below the waves…..
