Private Scuba Dive: Cape Kri & Sardine Reef, Raja Ampat

Plunge into Cape Kri — the site where marine biologist Dr. Gerald Allen recorded a world-record 374 fish species in a single dive — on a private two-tank dive charter with an expert local dive master. This is underwater Raja Ampat at its most extraordinary.

What to expect

Cape Kri's famous current-swept point delivers schooling barracuda, white-tip reef sharks, and Napoleon wrasse within the first minutes of descent. Your dive master guides you along the reef wall where pygmy seahorses cling to sea fans and wobbegong sharks rest on ledges. The second dive moves to Sardine Reef, named for the blizzard of silver fish that engulf you in a shimmering, swirling vortex. Surface intervals are spent on the boat with fresh fruit, hot tea, and dive log review.
