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 - Mioskun offers some of Raja Ampat's richest diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Mioskun is a nice, straightforward dive in Raja Ampat. You’ll spend most of your time on a sloping reef, keeping an eye out for the smaller stuff. We’ve spotted Denise's pygmy seahorses here, tucked into gorgonian fans, so move slowly and look closely. Keep an eye out for the Slender Snake Eels peeking from the sand and the flash of a Blue-lined Surgeonfish. It’s a site that rewards careful searching rather than big pelagic action, making it a good choice for macro enthusiasts and those newer to the region’s currents.
Safety Notes
Strong currents typical this month (avg 35 cm/s). Good buoyancy control essential.
