About Mayhem
Mayhem is a Gam-side Raja Ampat pinnacle with walls, slopes, and bommies that reward a controlled current dive. The reef life builds fast when the tide is moving, with sharks, big schools of reef fish, and plenty of coral detail along the drift line. Plan it as a boat-led dive with a guide who can time the entry and keep the team on the sheltered side when flow picks up.
