Why dive here
With 236+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), pygmy seahorses and sea turtles - Agusta Reef offers some of Raja Ampat's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Agusta Reef sits pretty shallow, peaking around 10-12m, but don’t let that fool you. This spot usually serves up a stiff current, so we'd suggest bringing a reef hook and being comfortable with some energetic drifting. When that water's moving, the place really lights up. You’ll often find schools of redtooth triggerfish dancing in the flow, and both blacktip and whitetip reef sharks patrol the edges. We’ve even spotted a few Pygmy seahorses tucked away when the current eases enough to search. Keep an eye out for Jumping Blennies too, they’re always a fun find here.
