About this site

Mike's Point is a reef dive site located at Kerupyar Island, in the Raja Ampat region of Indonesia. The site reaches a maximum depth of 30 m and is dived as a reef.

Conditions at Mike's Point are demanding: currents can be strong, particularly during full or new moon phases and when tides are running high. The site should be dived at slack water only, making timing critical. These conditions place it firmly in the advanced category, suited to experienced divers comfortable with strong current diving.

The reef is home to a wide range of species, including sweetlips, Spanish mackerel, whitetip reef sharks, blacktip reef sharks, wobbegong sharks, epaulette sharks, turtles, sea snakes, pygmy seahorses, scorpionfishes, nudibranchs, and both soft and hard corals.
