Entry / access
boat

Divers drop in on the west side and drift east along a slope of hard and soft corals, sponges and fans, often hooking in around 10 m to watch trevally, barracuda and snappers work the current. The safety stop is on the ridge between Kri and the next island, and divers must avoid being swept north into a down-current. Raja Ampat requires a marine park permit and a separate regency visitor ticket.
