Pintu Arus, in Cenderawasih Bay, offers a dive that often surprises with its quiet charm. While not a dramatic drop-off, we’ve found it reliably hosts smaller reef fish darting between the corals. It’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive, suitable for divers who prefer to take their time and observe the details rather than chase big pelagics.
