Sorong Papua Editorial Desk

Sorong Papua Editorial Desk is the name every page on this site is published under. It is a working desk rather than a directory of headshots: the material here is written, checked and updated by the people who run the site day to day, and it is signed as a desk because a desk is what does the work.

What this desk publishes

The pages fall into a few groups: how the itineraries are put together, what things actually cost, diving trips and when to go. Each one stays with whoever on the desk last handled that subject, which is also who answers when a reader writes in about it.

How we handle what we have not confirmed

Rules, fares and schedules in Indonesia change with little warning. Where a figure has been checked against an official source, we state it plainly and say where it came from. Where it has not been checked, we say so on the page instead of filling the gap with an estimate that would read like a fact.

What this desk does not claim

We publish no personal biographies, no job titles and no professional credentials for anyone on this desk, because we have no documents to back such claims. Nothing here is licensed advice. For anything that turns on your own circumstances, deal directly with the office or the operator that will actually handle it.

If something on a page no longer matches what you were told officially, let us know and we will change it. You can reach the desk through our contact page.
