Four Kings

Four Kings sits off Misool Island in the Raja Ampat archipelago of West Papua, an area shaped by strong currents driven by tidal exchange between the Ceram Sea and open water. Misool's dive sites in this southern part of Raja Ampat are typically reached by liveaboard or small boats out of resorts on the island, and the region as a whole is noted for exceptionally high reef fish and coral diversity. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 40 metres and is rated an intermediate dive. Divers have reported barracuda and manta rays passing through, and the currents that sweep this stretch of Misool remain a defining feature of the diving here.
