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 - Lalosi offers some of Raja Ampat's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Lalosi sits as a quiet contrast to some of Raja Ampat’s more famous, booming sites. What it lacks in dramatic drop-offs, it makes up for with a gentle beauty, particularly in its seagrass beds. We've seen Olive Ridleys and Leatherback Sea Turtles grazing here, a real treat for those who appreciate the quieter moments. Keep an eye out for Denise's pygmy seahorses, though they take some patience to spot, and the Hooded Oysters clinging to the substrate. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, maybe a long safety stop, where you can slow down and appreciate the smaller things.
