Arborec Jetty

Arborec Jetty sits off Mansuar Island in Raja Ampat, part of the group of islands off the Bird's Head Peninsula of West Papua in eastern Indonesia. The site takes its name from a jetty structure on the island, with the surrounding waters part of the Dampier Strait area between Waigeo and Batanta. It is a shore dive reaching a maximum depth of around 18 metres. Divers here have reported anchor tuskfish, Bleeker's parrotfish, blue linckia sea stars, bluefin and orange-spotted trevally, dot-and-dash goatfish, Moorish idols, scissortail sergeants, and staghorn damsels around the jetty structure and surrounding reef.
