About Corepen Dive Center
Corepen Dive Center is a dive center located in Raja Ampat on Gam Island, offering a wide range of diving experiences and trips to nearby sites. The adventure began in 2016, thanks our fearless leader, Maria! She stumbled into Raja Ampat in 2008 and thought, "Why not help locals earn more cash with a dive center?" After some serious saving and a few too many cups of coffee, she built her dive center right next to a cozy homestay—because who doesn’t love a good nap after a dive? The homestay owned by locals and after a long period of time with no guess coming in, Maria set up her diving center next to the homestay in 2016. Fast forward to 2017, when Sandi joined the party and together, they transformed a humble setup of one bungalow and four diving gear into a diving paradise with seven bungalows and enough equipment to gear up a small army! Now, with two speedboats ready to whisk you away, we're all about making waves and unforgettable memories!
​
Our dive center is still and will always keep on growing. We're excited to introduce three amazing guides—Kunio, Anton, and Kurniawan—who are here to enhance your diving experience. With these guys leading the way, you might just discover a mermaid or two (or at least some really cool fish). So, grab your gear and prepare for a splash-tastic adventure that’ll have you laughing all the way to the surface!

We can't thank our captains, Jumat and Musa, enough for their amazing skills at steering us to one dive site after another without losing our lunch! Our compressor duo, Alif and Tono, are like the dive bottle ninjas, working around the clock so we don't run out of air—or our sanity! And let’s not forget our culinary wizards, Imam and Dian, who whip up enough food and snacks to feed a small army at the homestay and during our surface intervals. Honestly, without our hardworking staff, we’d probably be float like fish out of water, so hats off to them for keeping everything running smoothly—and for keeping us well-fed!
