Dear Amanda,

I am happy to know you are doing well. Thanks for telling me the story about your trip to
Istanbul. It is very interesting! I am happy to know you had a great time.

Last school holiday, I went on a trip to Raja Ampat. The place was gorgeous! However, it
required a lot of patience to get to Raja Ampat. I had to take a 4-hour direct flight to Sorong.
Once I arrived in Sorong, I took a taxi to get to the town's port. Then I took a ferry to the
main island of Wasai, the capital of Raja Ampat. It is located on the island of Waigeo.

I went there with my friends, Adan and Alana. They also enjoy diving. We joined a group of
divers from all over the world. We went on a series of dives that had been arranged by the
director of the diving trip. I was actually very nervous. It has been years since the last time I
went diving. I was afraid that I was going to screw this up by fumbling the gear. However,
the other divers were very supportive, as they helped each other familiarise themselves with
the gears.

The dive sites we visited had the most amazing seascapes I've ever seen. On the first day of
diving, we saw a grey reef shark and a manta rays. We could-even see them from the surface.
We also visited Arborek Village, and we did a night dive at Arborek Jetty. It was one of the
most unforgettable diving experience of my life. I can't wait to go back to Raja Ampat.

Love,

Amira
