Blue Magic
An underwater reef pinnacle in Dampier Strait where currents bring manta rays, schools of barracuda and wobbegong sharks. It is one of Raja Ampat's most thrilling dive sites.
Blue Magic is an underwater reef pinnacle between Mioskon Island and Cape Kri. Its summit lies about 7–10 metres below the surface, and the sides drop steeply into deep blue. Strong currents draw in large schools of barracuda, trevally and snapper. In the right season, oceanic manta rays sometimes pass by, wobbegong sharks can be found on the rocks, and pygmy seahorses live on the sea fans. Currents vary, so this site suits experienced divers with an advanced certificate. Use a reef hook and stay close to your dive guide. Nearby are other well-known sites such as Sardine Reef.
