About this site

South Kri lies off Kri Island in the Dampier Strait, part of Raja Ampat in West Papua, Indonesia, an area known for exceptionally rich reef biodiversity within the Coral Triangle. The strait sits between Waigeo and Gam islands and is a common base for liveaboards and small resorts operating throughout Raja Ampat. The site is a wall dive reaching a maximum depth of around 40 metres and is rated an advanced dive, likely reflecting the depth and the currents typical of Dampier Strait sites.
