    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Wai FPW is one of those Raja Ampat sites that’s easy to overlook, but we think it’s worth a slow dive. It’s got a mellow vibe, often with gentle currents, making it a good spot to really take your time and look closely. You'll find a good collection of cardinalfish here – we've seen Multi-barred, Yellowlined, and plenty of the striking Meteor Cardinalfish tucked into the corals. The seagrass beds are worth exploring too; keep an eye out for a Flasher Scorpionfish, they’re masters of disguise in that environment. This site is great for macro enthusiasts or divers looking for a relaxing second dive of the day.
