    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Urai in Raja Ampat might not be the loudest site, but we’ve always found it a great spot for slowing down and really looking. We typically find several species of pygmy seahorse tucked into the gorgonian fans, so keep your eyes peeled. The site also has a knack for turning up some interesting gobies and cardinalfish, like the Scaly-nape Tentacle Goby or the elusive Hooded Oyster. It’s a good choice for macro enthusiasts who appreciate a quieter dive.
