About this site
Neptune's Fan Sea is a wall dive off Misool Island, in the southern part of Raja Ampat's limestone archipelago in West Papua. Like other sites in this island group, it is typically reached by liveaboard or from one of the small resorts scattered around Misool. Divers here have reported green and hawksbill turtles, Napoleon wrasse, and swarthy parrotfish along the wall, with smaller finds such as pinkspot shrimpgoby, painted spiny lobster, golden sea squirts, and varicose wart slugs worked into the reef itself. Pacific double-saddle and panda butterflyfish have also been spotted moving over the coral structure, along with nudibranchs such as Anna's and Loch's chromodoris.
