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 - Menara Telkomsel offers some of Raja Ampat's richest wall diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Menara Telkomsel is one of those Raja Ampat sites that just hits different. We love a good drift, and this one delivers. Drop in, usually a five-minute boat ride from the jetty, and just let the water do the work. The coral slope here is just lovely, a gentle cascade of hard and soft corals. Keep an eye out for the usual suspects: clown anemonefish tending their homes, schools of Bristle-toothed Surgeonfish, and those wonderfully quirky Bristle-tailed Leatherjackets. But the real magic often lies in the blue. Blacktip reef sharks glide past, rays might ghost by, and we’ve seen some hefty cuttlefish here too. The biggest thrill? If the current is really cranking, you can drift all the way back to the Soul Scuba Divers jetty, which feels like you’ve just nailed a perfect dive commute. It’s a pretty easygoing drift, so it's a great spot for anyone who enjoys a relaxed dive with plenty to see without too much finning. Just remember to look up from the reef every now and then; the open water surprises are always worth it.
