    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Erens New, in the heart of Raja Ampat, offers a quieter dive, away from some of the more frenetic spots. We’ve found it’s a great place to slow down and really look, especially for the smaller residents. Keep an eye out for Denise's pygmy seahorses, tucked away on gorgonian fans, and we've regularly spotted the vibrant Flame Cardinalfish darting among the corals. The site feels best suited for divers who appreciate macro life and are willing to take their time exploring cracks and crevices for species like the Palebarred Reefgoby or even a Slender Snake Eel. It’s a solid pick for a relaxed afternoon dive.
