About this site

This site sits off Waigeo Island in the Raja Ampat archipelago of West Papua, Indonesia, an area known for its scattering of small islands and karst outcrops surrounded by reef. Waigeo is the largest island in the group, and dive sites along its coasts are typically reached by liveaboard or small boat from villages such as Waisai.
