Jasmine is a genus of shrubs and vines in the olive family. It contains around 200 species
native to tropical and warm temperature regions of Eurasia, Australasia and Oceania.
Jasmines are widely cultivated for the characteristic fragrance of their flowers.

Jasmine can be either deciduous (leaves falling in autumn) or evergreen (green all year
round), and can be erect, spreading, or climbing shrubs and vines. Their leaves are borne,
opposite or alternate. They can be simple, trifoliate, or pinnate. The flowers are typically
around 2.5 cm (0.98 in) in diameter. They are white or yellow in color, although in rare
instances they can be slightly reddish. The flowers are borne in cymose clusters with a
minimum of three flowers, though they can also be solitary on the ends of branchlets. Each
flower has about four to nine petals, two locules, and one to four ovules. They have
two stamens with very short filaments. The bracts are linear or ovate. The calyx is bell-shaped.
They are usually very fragrant. The fruits of jasmines are berries that turn black when ripe.

Jasmines are native to tropical and subtropical regions of Eurasia, Australasia and Oceania,
although only one of the 200 species is native to Europe. Their center of diversity is in South
Asia and Southeast Asia. A number of jasmine species have become naturalized in

acres of land and sea, home to 540 types of corals, more than 1,000 types of coral fish and 700
types of mollusks. This makes it the most diverse living library for world's coral reef and
underwater biota. According to a report developed by The Nature Conservancy and Conservation
International, around 75 percent of the world's species live here. When divers first arrive here their
excitement is palpable. It's common to hear people praise God as they take in the remarkable
scenery. Others prefer to remain in silence taking in the overwhelming sight of so many islands
with crystal clear water that softly brushes over the white sandy beaches.
Commonly, divers will join a tour and live in a diving resort during their stay in the Raja Ampat
Islands. To access diving spots, we can easily contact and use the professional diving organizers,
who can be conveniently found in Sorong. You may rent a small boat if you wish to stop and make
personal discoveries along the line of the beaches. You can also trek around the islands to find
hidden beauties, like waterfalls and ancient caves.

If you are flying from Jakarta you can take a six hour flight to Sorong with a stopover in Manado.
Alternatively, you can join a diving tour in Bali and fly from there. There are also daily ferries
