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 - Dilaut offers some of Raja Ampat's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Dilaut, just a short boat ride from Soul Scuba, is one of those spots we love for a relaxed afternoon dive, especially after a morning spent battling currents elsewhere. It’s got a maximum depth of 23 meters and typically good visibility around 25 meters, so it’s wonderfully easy. We often suggest it for newer divers or those who just want to slow down and really look. What you get here is a healthy reef, full of nooks and crannies to explore. We’ve spent ages just hovering, watching the Ocellated Cardinalfish drift in and out of the coral, or searching for the tiny Scaly-nape Tentacle Gobies. Keep an eye out for the Cleaner Mimics, they’re always a fun find. The fusiliers often hang around in decent schools, making for some good wide-angle shots if you’re into photography. It’s not about big pelagics here; it's about the intricate details. We've even spotted a Pygmy Seahorse or two on a good day. It's a gentle, enjoyable dive, perfect for soaking in the reef's rhythm.
Safety Notes
