Amazing news from our good friends at Misool Eco Resort! ❤️❤️❤️

What an incredible day for sharks!

Today, we released three leopard sharks - Taran, Charlotte, and Dawn - into the safe waters of the Misool Marine Reserve.

These sharks arrived as eggs from Australia and have hatched and grown in our custom-built shark nursery.

Thanks to the vision of the team and the care and nurture from their shark nannies, these charismatic creatures are tasked with repopulating Raja Ampat's leopard shark populations! We're rooting for you!

We’re excited to introduce the Suunto Ocean Dive Computer – now available at our store! 🌟 Whether you’re a seasoned diver or just starting out, this dive computer is your perfect companion for underwater exploration.
