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 - White Arrow offers some of Raja Ampat's richest diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
White Arrow, tucked away in Raja Ampat, offers a quieter dive than some of its flashier neighbours, and we appreciate that. Drop in and you’re looking at a gentle slope from around 5 metres down to 30. It’s a good spot for keeping an eye out for the smaller stuff – we’ve often found Ostrich Gobies here, along with Duncker’s pipefish tucked into the reef. You might even spot a Freycinet's Epaulette Shark if you’re patient. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers keen on macro, and generally suited to divers who enjoy taking their time.
