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 - Felici garden offers some of Raja Ampat's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Felici Garden is a different kind of dive in Raja Ampat, and we really like that. It’s an active coral plantation run by the Sea People NGO, so you’re diving a recovery project. Max depth is a shallow 17m, making it perfect for longer bottom times and a more relaxed pace. Don't expect towering coral bommies here; this is about the little things, and about seeing a reef in progress. We love exploring the newer coral fragments, tiny structures already attracting a surprising array of life. Look closely in the sand and rubble between the planted corals. We’ve spotted Wasp Pygmy Gobies, the almost invisible Denise’s pygmy seahorse, and plenty of nudibranchs if you take your time. Clown anemonefish are a given, often with their Cleaner Mimic friends. You might even get lucky with a Reef Manta Ray cruising by in the bluer water, curious about the activity. It's a dive for those who appreciate macro life, conservation efforts, and a gentle exploration rather than a high-octane drift. Definitely ask Soul Scuba Divers for the latest on how to visit and perhaps even lend a hand.
