Shark Point Raja Ampat

Shark Point, out here in Raja Ampat, might not be teeming with big sharks every single dive, but we consistently find it delivers a proper coral spectacle. We usually start by dropping in against the current, finning gently over the slope. It’s a good spot to eye up those schools of yellow-striped cardinalfish, shimmering in the shafts of light. Then, as the current shifts, you really just let go and drift. The reef here transitions beautifully, from a slope to short walls, then into these dense coral gardens. It’s an absolute visual feast – fluted clams dotted amongst the branching corals, tiny seastar shrimp tucked away if you look close enough. We always keep one eye out in the blue for the bumphead parrotfish, their massive heads looking almost prehistoric as they cruise by. It's an easy dive, maxing out around 23m, with generally excellent visibility. We think it’s a brilliant site for anyone who appreciates a healthy, diverse reef, with enough drift to keep things moving without feeling like a rollercoaster.
