Capri Point
Boat-access reef wall with coral gardens and macro-rich drop-offs.

ReefWall
Local operator required
Capri Point is normally dived by boat from Maratua operators, and local timing matters because current can build along the outer reef.
Usually dived by boat from Maratua as a current-sensitive reef route, with calmer coral garden sections above steeper walls and the best planning in drier months.
About Capri Point
Capri Point is a boat-access reef wall north of Maratua where shallow coral gardens give way to steeper outer reef faces cut with ledges and overhangs. Divers usually follow the reef as a current-sensitive route, watching the wall for macro life while keeping an eye on the blue for passing rays, barracuda, and the occasional shark.

Scuba
Usually dived as a guided boat drift or reef-following route, starting over coral garden sections before working along the steeper outer wall and ledges.
Snorkel
The shallow coral garden can be appealing from the surface on calm days, but Capri Point is mainly planned as a guided scuba site because outer-wall current can build quickly.
