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 - Pulau Yum offers some of Raja Ampat's richest diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Pulau Yum offers a straightforward dive in Raja Ampat. We often find large schools of fusiliers here, sometimes so thick they create a shimmering curtain. Keep an eye out for reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections. It’s a good spot for divers looking for a relaxed experience with consistent fish action, rather than dramatic topography or rare macro life.
Safety Notes
Strong currents typical this month (avg 35 cm/s). Good buoyancy control essential.
