Why you should NEVER go diving in Raja Ampat
First of all, where even IS 'Raja Ampat'? Like anyone even cares enough to know.
When something's this far off the map, how could you expect anyone to go? It's not like there's anything to see there.
You'll never catch me stepping foot in their oceans.
It just all seems so plain.
So boring.
With no mystery at all.
I've heard their wildlife - whatever they even have there - is SUPER dull, too.
So ordinary.
And really unfriendly.
So save your money. Don't visit Raja Ampat.
You'll learn nothing.
See nothing.
DO nothing.
What a waste of time.
