About this site

Batu Rufus sits among the Fam Islands within Raja Ampat, off Groot Fam Island in West Papua, Indonesia, where a limestone karst islet rises from sheltered water typically reached by small boat from liveaboards or resorts operating in the area. The site is a wall dive reaching a maximum depth of around 23.5 metres, rated intermediate. Divers have reported bumphead parrotfish, Napoleon wrasse, and triggerfish moving along the wall, along with damselfish, fusiliers, and mackerel in the water column. Nudibranchs, pufferfish, and pygmy seahorses have also been spotted tucked into the reef structure here.
