    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Cape Kri is one of those sites where you drop in and just let the ocean do its thing. It’s a drift dive, pure and simple, and we absolutely love it for that. The current here, often a gentle push, sweeps you along the southern edge of the island, past what feels like an endless coral garden. We've often seen crinoid clingfish here, tiny things camouflaged perfectly, and the fluted clams are always a vibrant splash of colour. It’s not always about schooling pelagics here; Cape Kri is more about the sheer density of reef life. You'll glide past impressive hard corals, feeling the subtle shifts in temperature as you move through different sections of the reef. We've spent entire dives just hovering, watching clown anemonefish tending their homes, or spotting a well-hidden pygmy seahorse if you have a keen guide. If you’re a diver who prefers a relaxed pace, soaking in the details rather than chasing big animals, this is a prime spot. We’d suggest going in the morning; the light just hits the reef perfectly, making the corals pop.
