2 or 3 Day-Dives per Day
Unlimited Housereef Dive 7AM - 6PM
Dive into Raja Ampat has recently finished a rebuild / upgrade of the diving centre. A new camera room with individual charging / work stations and dedicated camera rinse tanks. Guests also now have a secure locker room for their dive gear storage. Both the locker room and the camera room
are opposite the restaurant keeping everything centralised.
All of our speedboats are also getting a complete engine and layout overhaul. We have had added a front canopy to the boats to provide better protection to the guests from the elements.
The normal schedule for diving is a 2 tank dive in the morning, back to the resort for lunch and then a 1 tank dive in the afternoon.
Signature Dive Sites of Raja Ampat
Raja Ampat’s dive sites are legendary, each offering a distinct underwater character shaped by strong currents, pristine reefs, and staggering biodiversity. From high‑energy fish action to calm, photogenic coral gardens, the region delivers unforgettable dives across every style and experience level.
Cape Kri
Often cited as one of the most biodiverse dive sites on the planet, Cape Kri is a thrilling current‑swept ridge where marine life explodes from every direction. Massive schools of snapper, barracuda, and jacks pack tightly together, while reef sharks patrol the blue. This is Raja Ampat at full intensity—fast‑paced, dramatic, and unforgettable.
Blue Magic
A submerged pinnacle rising from deep water, Blue Magic is famous for its big‑fish encounters. Oceanic mantas frequently circle the cleaning stations here, joined by tuna, trevally, reef sharks, and swirling bait balls. Between the action, the reef itself is packed with macro life, making this a favourite for both thrill‑seekers and photographers.
Manta Sandy
One of Raja Ampat’s iconic manta cleaning stations, Manta Sandy offers front‑row seats to graceful manta rays as they hover effortlessly above sandy plates while reef fish attend to them. Dives here are calm and shallow, ideal for extended bottom times and intimate encounters with these gentle giants.
Sardine Reef
True to its name, Sardine Reef teems with dense schools of fish that pulse and shift with the current. Sweetlips, fusiliers, snapper, and jacks crowd the reef, while predators dart in from the blue. The reef structure is layered, colourful, and constantly alive with motion.
Mike’s Point
A classic Raja Ampat drift dive, Mike’s Point combines vibrant sloping reefs with excellent macro life and regular pelagic sightings. Soft corals bloom along the walls, pygmy seahorses hide in sea fans, and reef sharks cruise by in the distance, creating a perfect balance of detail and excitement.
Melissa’s Garden
Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful coral gardens in the world, Melissa’s Garden is a kaleidoscope of colour. Hard corals grow in dense, healthy formations, interspersed with clouds of reef fish. This site showcases Raja Ampat’s reefs in pristine condition and is a paradise for wide‑angle photography.
Arborek Jetty
Shallow, calm, and astonishingly rich, Arborek Jetty proves that world‑class diving doesn’t have to be deep. Under the jetty’s pilings, enormous schools of fish swirl through beams of sunlight while macro life flourishes below. Night dives here are especially magical.
The Passage
A narrow channel winding between jungle‑covered limestone islands, The Passage feels like diving through an underwater rainforest. Soft corals, mangroves, and dramatic light effects define this peaceful, atmospheric dive, offering a slower pace and completely unique scenery.
Fam Islands
The Fam Islands deliver dramatic seamounts, steep walls, and crystal‑clear water. With fewer boats and remote surroundings, these sites feel wild and untouched, combining stunning reefscapes with occasional pelagic surprises.
Together, these sites capture the essence of Raja Ampat diving: raw, diverse, and endlessly spectacular. Every dive offers something different—whether it’s heart‑pounding action, serene reef exploration, or rare marine encounters that leave a lasting impression long after surfacing.
