'(CNN) — More than 30 years ago, Dutchman and history enthusiast Max Ammer
received a lead from his then-landlord, a war veteran, about submerged WWII
aircraft in the waters of Indonesia.
The tip led him to what would become a four-month-long diving expedition
through various archipelagos, consulting local fishermen along the way.
During his journey, one place stood out from the rest: Raja Ampat, in
Indonesia's West Papua Province.
Located in the heart of the Coral Triangle, the Raja Ampat Marine Protected
Area Network spans over 4 million hectares and includes around 1,500 islands.
Credited with having the richest marine biodiversity on Earth and a relatively
sremote location that has allowed it to escape mass tourism, it's no surprise
that Raja Ampat is often marketed as "the last paradise on Earth." It's home to
more than 1,600 species of fish, while some 75% of the world's known coral
species can be found there.'
