About this site

White Arrow is a dive site along Waigeo Island in the Raja Ampat archipelago of West Papua, Indonesia. This area of the archipelago is characterized by steep reef walls and channels between islands, typically reached by liveaboard or small boat from operators based around Waigeo and the wider region. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 40 metres, giving divers a good stretch of reef to work down through on a single dive.
