Koi island

Koi Island is one of those Raja Ampat sites we’d happily dive on repeat. It's a slope, not a wall, and that subtle angle really lets the light play on the corals as you drift. We love the feeling of being gently pushed along, spotting white-tip and black-tip reef sharks cruising below. Look closely for the Pygmy seahorses, both Denise’s and Bargibant’s are often nestled in the gorgonians. The reef here starts shallow, around five meters, and then slopes to a maximum of 21 meters, which makes it an ideal spot for a longer, relaxed dive. We’ve had some truly fantastic drifts with visibility often hitting 20 meters, though it can drop a bit if the currents are really ripping. You'll pass schools of fusiliers, sweetlips, and snapper, often finding a cruising eagle ray in the blue. Keep an eye out for the Flame Cardinalfish and Snakehead Cowries, they’re just lovely. It’s a site that suits anyone comfortable with a gentle drift, offering plenty of time to soak it all in.
