Schools, Sharks & Blue Lagoons: Aboard Mermaid II Through Raja Ampat

Starting our trip and breaking the surface in Misool at the southern tip of Raja Ampat, we were immediately greeted by schooling fish of all kinds. From Fusiliers getting chased around by Bluefin and Giant Trevallies all over the vibrant reefs. A large school Batfish suddenly appeared out of the blue and circled around us. Meanwhile, a large school of Yellowmask Surgeonfish unbothered by all the commotion around us.
