Скачать или смотреть Rating Raja Ampat Dive Sites

Diving obviously can vary depending on conditions and season, but these are my personal thoughts on these dive sites having visited in Sept '25.

Manta Sandy - We spent most of the dive watching an octopus as if there are no mantas around it's not the most interesting of dive sites. You also have to stay behind a line so as not to disturb any mantas at the cleaning station. We were fortunate that one showed up for the last 10 mins of our dive and also decided to come and check us out as we were swimming off to end our dive.

Melissa's Garden - Appropriately named, mostly smaller fish and colourful corals. Pleasant but nothing particular unique for the area. We visited on a trip to Piaynemo, but not sure if it's worth the effort to get to otherwise as most dive sites are good.

Chicken Reef - Fun dive with lots of shoals of fish waiting for food in the current. No stand out moments but a nice, standard Raja Ampat dive site.

Cape Kri - Holds the world record for most biodiverse dive site in the world and it was easy to see why. From nudis and a pygmy seahorse to barracuda and reef sharks, there was a huge variety of life. It was also the only site I chose to visit twice. Currents can be strong though, so you need to be a confident diver and remain vigilant.
