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 - GA's Flash offers some of Raja Ampat's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
GA's Flash in Raja Ampat offers a different kind of dive. Forget the usual coral garden here. We found ourselves looking closer, spotting things like the tiny Twostripe Eviota flitting among the seagrass beds – both thalassia and cymodocea are common. Keep an eye out for the big stuff too; Olive Ridley and Leatherback Sea Turtles have been known to cruise through, and we've even seen Reef Mantas here. It’s a site for those who enjoy slowing down and appreciating the subtle details rather than dramatic reefscapes.
