From manta rays and wobbegongs to pygmy seahorses and tiger shrimps, the healthy reefs of Raja Ampat boast spectacular marine biodiversity and superb scuba diving all year around. Built in year 2011, HamuEco Dive Resort offers affordable and unforgettable dive and stay packages in this incredible region to guests with a limited budget.

Built in the popular central region, on the south coast of Waigeo Island and bordering the Dampier Strait, this small resort has basic but comfortable accommodations, both on the beach and on stilts over the sea shallows. There are no fixed start or end dates to packages and no minimum period of stay, so guests are free to arrive and leave HamuEco Dive Resort when they want. The property is locally-owned and managed and puts guests in touch with local communities and culture.

The convenient onsite restaurant has an indoor dining area and an outdoor sundeck. Most of the menu is local Indonesian cuisine, using rice and vegetables, herbs and spices, with plenty of locally-caught fish and chicken. Guests can help themselves to drinking water, tea and coffee, from the dining room, 24/7. The sun deck provides a beautiful view during the day and a perfect spot for star-gazing at night.

The dive centre HamuEco Resort is equipped with all the scuba equipment necessary to allow scuba divers to explore the sites of this central region of Raja Ampat. Additionally guests can snorkel, join a land tour to Blue River, or go island hopping, or bird watching - another of West Papua's world class attractions.

Sleep with the gentle sound of waves and wake up in the morning by birds whistling outside your room as the sun rises through the window of your water cabin. HamuEco Dive Resort has 6 wooden guest rooms built over the water and facing west so that guests can have a sunset view with Gam and Waigeo islands in the background. Each room is 14 sqm with a queen bed or 2 twin single (convertible to double) beds (white cotton linens and blanket), air-conditioner, private bathroom with Western-style toilet and shower, balcony with lounge chair and hammock, 2 x 220V electrical outlets (Indonesian standard), and a towel for each guest.
