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 - Yanggelo offers some of Raja Ampat's richest diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Yanggelo is a channel dive that tends to deliver on big fish action, especially when the current picks up. We’ve found it’s best to drop in on the north side, near those old bungalows, and let the channel pull you along. The shallows are a nice warm-up, a vibrant hard coral garden. But the real show is deeper, where we regularly see schools of fusiliers and snapper so thick they practically blot out the light. Keep an eye out for wobbegongs tucked under ledges too; they’re pretty reliably here. It’s a site that rewards experienced divers who don't mind a bit of a ride.
Safety Notes
Strong currents typical this month (avg 35 cm/s). Good buoyancy control essential.
