About this site
Farondi Cave lies among the small limestone islands off Misool, in the southern part of Raja Ampat in West Papua. This part of Misool, including the Daram cluster, is characterized by karst islets rising steeply from the water with hidden lagoons and cave-like formations between them, reached by boat from liveaboards and resorts operating in the area. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 32 metres and is rated an advanced dive.
