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 - Yenmnuk offers some of Raja Ampat's richest diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Yenmnuk in Raja Ampat is a consistently good dive. We’ve found the reef slopes gently from about 10 meters, dropping away to past 30, and it’s usually packed with activity. You'll often spot blacktip reef sharks cruising the perimeter and schools of fusiliers swirling so thick they almost block out the sun. The coral health here is excellent, lots of huge table corals and brightly coloured soft corals, making for a very pleasant drift. It's a site that's great for leisurely dives, offering plenty to see without needing to fight a strong current.
Safety Notes
Strong currents typical this month (avg 35 cm/s). Good buoyancy control essential.
