Stumpy Rock is a straightforward dive, a rocky outcrop in Cenderawasih Bay. It’s a site we’ve found holds a decent variety of the usual reef fish, nothing particularly rare, but good for a relaxing swim. Expect to see schooling fusiliers, the occasional snapper, and perhaps a turtle passing through. It's a solid choice for an easy afternoon dive, suitable for divers who prefer a more mellow pace.
