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 - Magic Mountain offers some of Raja Ampat's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Magic Mountain is a classic Raja Ampat pinnacle. It’s a site where we often see reef manta rays patrolling the cleaning stations, especially when the current is running. Keep an eye out for grey reef sharks cruising the deeper edges too. It’s a dive best suited for experienced divers comfortable with exposure to current.
Safety Notes
