Kapoposang

Kapoposang is one of the largest of the Spermonde Islands, around 70 km northwest of

Makassar, South Sulawesi. Kapoposang covers an area of around 50,000 hectares and is
inhabited by around 100 families. Several other islands, both inhabited and uninhabited, lie near
Kapoposang. The larger ones include Papandangan, Kondongbali, Suranti and Tambakulu.

Kapoposang and the nearby islands were declared a Nature Tourism Park by the Department of
Forestry in 1999. Diving has been an important activity at Kapoposang since the mid
1990s. There were so few local divers at the time, and because of the distance from other well-
known diving areas in Indonesia, Kapoposang has basically remained a secret.

The best time to visit Kapoposang is between April and November, when the seas are calm, the
weather favorable, and the wind less fierce than in the other months. The trip takes two hours by
speedboat; the ocean breezes help to cool your skin in the hot morning sun. As you approach
Pulau Kapoposang, you see the deep blue water, which suddenly meets an expanse of coral reefs
between extensive shallows with white sands in the seabed. Sea grass also grows lushly near the
shore. The sea bed at Kapoposang has a unique composition; near the island are some quite
shallow contours, and then suddenly steep underwater cliffs leading to seemingly endless depths.
The water is very clear; you can expect underwater visibility of over 15 meters ideal conditions
for divers.

from a local myth. The four major islands are Waigeo, Misool (which is home to ancient rock
painting), Salawati, and Batanta. Raja Ampat is located in the bird head of the island of Papua.
Underwater enthusiasts flock to this region because it offers the world's best marine sight. In the

another great challenge.

The territory within the islands of the Four Kings is enormous, covering 9.8 million acres
of land and sea, home to 540 types of corals, more than 1,000 types of coral fish and 700 types

biota. According to a report developed by The Nature Conservancy and Conservation
International, around 75% of the world's species live here.
