Triton Bay, tucked into West Papua, offers a dive experience that feels genuinely remote. We've often found ourselves drifting along walls that just drop into the blue, keeping an eye out for larger pelagics. It’s an advanced playground for sure, with currents that can pick up, but that’s often when the schooling fish really put on a show. If you’re willing to go a bit off-grid for the chance to spot whale sharks, turtles, and some surprisingly good macro, this corner of Cenderawasih Bay is well worth the journey.
