The vibrant orange soft corals of Citrus Ridge provide a stunning backdrop to this site, home to barracudas, bumphead parrot fish and sea snakes are common here. Meyhem offers schools of bat fish, surgeon fish and snappers with the occasional wobbegong sleeping under the coral heads. Gam Ridge is a good place to spot Eagle and Mobula rays. The Mangroves offer some stunning photo opportunities, diving late in the day around 4pm when the sun is low in the sky gives some stunning shafts of light in the mangrove shallows.
Dive : 3 day dives + 1 night dive

DAY 4: Arborek Island

Manta Sandy, Manta Ridge, Arborek Island & Jetty. Manta Sandy and Manta Ridge are two of the most reliable manta congregation spots in the Dampier Strait. Here you can look at the majestic animals somersaulting through the water while they are cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. The Jetty at Airborek offers unique photo opportunities of the long wooden pillars covered with soft corals and sea fans, if you’re lucky the local kids will be at play, jumping in the water eager to get on your photo reel. Arborek Jetty offers one of the best night dives in Raja Ampat where blue ring octopus, harlequin shrimp and wobbegong are often seen.
Dive : 3 day dives + 1 night dive

DAY 5: Dampier Strait + Swingkrai

Mikes Point, Sardine Reef, Mioskon and Friwinbondan. Before dive activities begin we have an early rise, we go in search of the Red Bird of Paradise at Sawingkrai Village on Gam. We then continue to Mike’s Point. Schooling sweetlips, patrolling black tip reef sharks and interesting macro subjects such as small octopus and shrimp thrive in these craggy coral niches. Sardine Reef. Actually sardines are not found at this site but you won’t miss them.
Fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevally, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish crowd the open water and swarm over a reef decorated with sea fans. Mioskon Reef is home to hundreds of lined snappers that usually cover the slope, schools of glass fish hide in coral bommies and wobbegongs are very common here. Friwinbondan offers an good night dive with nudibranchs, many shrimps and if you’re lucky a walking shark (Epaulette shark)
