CharacterReef dive

Triton Bay in Cenderawasih often gets tagged onto liveaboard itineraries for Raja Ampat or the Banda Sea, but it’s a worthy destination all on its own. The soft coral coverage is really something special, almost overwhelming in places, and you’ll swim past forests of black coral reaching into the blue. We’ve seen big schools of fusiliers here, epaulette sharks shuffling along the bottom, and even had a few pilot whale encounters. If you’re lucky, a whale shark might cruise by. The topside scenery with its sheer cliffs and ancient cave paintings is a bonus, making it feel a bit more remote and special.
