Cape Kri
A world-class dive site where a single dive once recorded 374 fish species, with astonishing fish density.
Cape Kri, at the eastern tip of Kri Island, is one of Raja Ampat's most celebrated dive sites. Ichthyologist Gerald Allen once recorded 374 fish species during a single dive here, a world record. The site is a sloping reef running from the shallows to below 40 metres, where you'll often see schools of barracuda, trevally, batfish, bumphead parrotfish, whitetip and blacktip reef sharks, and occasionally Napoleon wrasse and sea turtles. Currents are strong, so it suits experienced divers. An advanced certification and a reef hook are recommended. Kri Island has several dive resorts and homestays, and it's about one hour by speedboat from Waisai. The island's own beaches and viewpoints are also worth a visit.
