Conditions & tides

Channel site — tidal current funnels through here and can run fast, changing quickly with the tide. It is usually strongest around mid-tide and eases near the slack windows below. Dive with a local operator who knows the timing.

About this site

Tank Rock is a dive site in the Fiabacet area of Misool, Raja Ampat, connected to Nudi Rock by an underwater ridge that forms the backbone of the dive. The site sits on rocky bottom terrain, and the ridge can be explored in different ways depending on how the current is running on the day.

Tank Rock suits intermediate and more experienced divers, as currents here are strong and the site is particularly exposed. Conditions are best approached at low tide, and the strength of the flow means drift diving along the ridge is the typical approach.

The site holds a strong mix of larger animals and small finds. Grey reef sharks and groupers patrol the ridge, while yellowtail barracudas school in open water. Smaller rewards include pygmy seahorses tucked into the structure, and the site is rich enough that multiple dives are needed to cover it thoroughly.
