About this site
Matas sits along the coast of West Papua in eastern Indonesia, an area known for the reefs of Raja Ampat and Cenderawasih Bay further to the north and west. The coordinates place it near the Papuan mainland coastline facing the Pacific side of the province. The reef here reaches a maximum depth of around 40 metres and is rated an advanced dive, with visibility generally described as great. Currents can be strong and unpredictable, so divers need to plan for changing conditions during the dive. Manta rays have also been reported at the site.
