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 - Ransiwor offers some of Raja Ampat's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Ransiwor gives you a solid slice of what Raja Ampat is all about, without necessarily being the headliner. We’ve found the reef slopes here are fantastic for spotting those smaller, often overlooked critters. Keep an eye out for Hayashi's Cardinalfish tucked into crevices and the tiny Yellow-red Pygmygoby darting around coral heads. It’s a site that rewards a slow pace and good buoyancy control, letting you really appreciate species like the curious Snakehead Cowrie or the subtle beauty of a Bluestone kambingan. Definitely one for the macro enthusiasts among us.
