Arenui liveboard boat features photo pro Rod Klein

Spots open for amazing north raja ampat itinerary in January 2011

Underwater photography professional Rod Klein will be the Photo Pro in Residence on Arenui liveboard during the month of January.

There are a few spots left on each of the two charters, January 4-15 & 17-28 on the luxury liveaboard boat the Arenui. This is going to be an incredible itinerary to North Raja Ampat, probably the most photogenic area in all of Indonesia. See the exact route below. The itinerary includes the rarely dove Pulau Ayu region of Raja Ampat. Rod Klein will be on board for both charters to offer advice, seminars, and photoshop assitance to any interested guests.
