World-class drift dive off Cape Kri in Raja Ampat.
World-class drift dive off Cape Kri in Raja Ampat.
Cape Kri is a boat-dived reef and sloping-wall site off the northern tip of Kri Island in Raja Ampat. Shallow coral gardens give way to a steep, current-swept reef that runs deep and fills the water column with fish, sharks, tuna, turtles, and dense coral life. It suits divers who want a classic Raja Ampat drift with big biomass, excellent visibility, and a plan built around currents rather than still water.

Boat-only drift dive; snorkeling is not recommended and current-aware timing matters.
Legal Notes

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Scuba diving across a reef from roughly 5–40 m.

Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not recommended because the reef is not shallow and surface currents can be strong.
