Cross Over

Cross Over is an interesting wreck site, but it’s the quiet contemplation we really go for here. This isn’t a massive steel hulk; it’s a collection of scattered wartime debris, what’s left of a Japanese fighter plane, maybe a Zero, that went down during WWII. You’ll spend your time here exploring the broken fuselage and wing sections, now completely encrusted. We love how the reef has just swallowed it whole. Look closely and you’ll find those tiny treasures Raja Ampat is known for – Denise’s pygmy seahorses clinging to gorgonian fans and the vibrant flash of Flame Cardinalfish darting from the shadows. Keep an eye out for Slender Snake Eels poking their heads from the sand. It’s a shallower dive, usually around 12 to 18 metres, making it perfect for longer bottom times and really searching out the macro life. The currents are generally mild, so it’s a calm experience, a good spot to slow down after some of Raja’s more exhilarating drift dives.
