Ocean Lovers Diving

The Menu

We serve freshly prepared meals from Indonesian sourced ingredients including fish and chicken. It is part of our long term planning to have a garden and orchard to supplement the menu.

Here is one of our young banana trees!

Community Engagement

Raja Ampat is being developed at break neck speed mostly to benefit of foreigners. We are a 100% locally owned business and part of the Raja Ampat, Mansuar community.

Part of our mission to is model and promote sustainable life practice. Local villages need basic resources such as school supplies, home tools, sun glasses and dive gear. If you want to donate please contact us.

Be part of the pollution solution!

Raja Ampat doesn't have trash pick up and the main method of disposal is burning. This increases our awareness of trash and trash toxicity.

Ever increasing numbers of tourists bring and leave their trash, polluting this fragile environment. Please be mindful of what you bring on your vacation and plan to take non-organic trash with you.

Your Ideas and Help?

Most divers have other professional skills. We welcome your feedback and ideas on how to apply new approaches and technologies to minimize our impact while enjoying nature.

We can host and trade diving to people with relevant skills. Currently we need help with some carpentry and installing a garden/compost system.

Please reach out!

Solar Electricity

Raja Ampat does not have centralized electricity. Increasing numbers of tourists demand power on the islands. Our homestay is fully electrified with solar power - charging your devices and frozen fruit smoothies are guilt free! While other homestays use noisy gas powered generators, we are committed to a less impactful experience.

An important goal of OLDH is to have a solar powered boat. Reach out if you have leads!

Grey Water

Fresh water is a limited resource. Water for the shower/toilet is from a semi-fresh spring. We divert run off from the showers and laundry to our garden and orchard area.

Grey water in Raja Ampat goes directly onto the ground. Please consider in choosing your toiletries.
