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 - Ikan Party (My Reef) offers some of Raja Ampat's richest wall diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Ikan Party, or My Reef as some call it, really does live up to its name. We love it for the sheer volume of fish moving across the reef. It’s a constant, shimmering cloud of fusiliers, surgeonfish, and snappers, so thick in places you can barely see the corals underneath. When the current’s just right, usually moderate, it feels like the whole reef is breathing with them, a pulsing, living wall. Our favourite moments here are drifting along the reef edge, watching the barracuda and trevally dart into the schools, sending ripples of silver through the water. You can spend an entire dive just watching the endless motion. It’s not really about finding a specific rare critter, though tiny gobies and pygmy seahorses hide in the gorgonians if you look closely. This site is for divers who want to be immersed in the energy of a healthy reef, to feel surrounded by the sheer abundance of it all. It’s a powerful experience, much like the feeling you get at Cape Kri, but with its own distinct flavour.
