About this site
The Candy Store lies among the limestone islands off Misool, in the southern Raja Ampat archipelago of West Papua, near Daram Island. Sites in this part of Daram are typically reached by small boat from liveaboards or resorts based around Misool, threading between the karst islets that characterize the area. The dive reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres, is rated beginner, and generally sees light current. Divers have reported barracuda, clownfish, frogfish, napoleon wrasse, nudibranchs, pipefish, scorpionfish, and tuna on the reef here.
