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 - Puri Pinnacle offers some of Raja Ampat's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Puri Pinnacle, sometimes called Anti-Chovy, sits north of Yulliet Pulau in South Misool. It's a broad plateau, around 7 to 10 metres deep, that then drops away to about 25 metres. We often find ourselves drifting along its eastern side, where a few distinct pinnacles rise from the depths. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff here, the pygmygobies are particularly diverse-Stobbs', Forktail, and Yellow-red are all present. You'll likely spot a few Blue-spot V-wrasse darting about and some Purple eyebrowed tuskfish rummaging in the coral. Visibility averages a comfortable 21 metres, making it a good spot for divers who appreciate a relaxed pace and aren't chasing the big pelagics.
Safety Notes
Strong currents typical this month (avg 35 cm/s). Good buoyancy control essential.
