Ikan Party (My Reef) - Raja Ampat

Malibu Point, on Lombok's southwest, offers a decent wall dive, especially if you catch it when conditions are kind. We usually start inside the bay, where it’s calmer, before heading out along the wall if the currents aren't too feisty. There’s a good scattering of macro life here, like Helen's Triplefin darting around the corals and the occasional Pink anemonefish peeking out. Keep an eye on the blue for larger stuff; we’ve seen Reef Manta Rays pass by, and dolphins sometimes play in the bay. It’s a site that rewards a slow pace, really.
