Arborek Jetty (★4.4)

This is a challenging dive and not for the faint hearted. This jetty is a photographers dream with thousands of fish found under the jetty, such as schooling jacks hunting on the smaller silversides. It is not an easy dive due to the strong currents you can experience here.

Aqualung

Friwen Wall, Raja Ampat (★4.4)

This dive site is unique in that it is one of the very few wall dives that the Dampier Straight has to offer. The start of the wall has two small caves where you can spot fish swimming upside down, a strange thing to see for the first time.
