Mike’s Point is a Raja Ampat boat dive for walls and fish.
Local guide timing is important for the changing currents.
Mike’s Point is a boat dive on a small island in Raja Ampat’s Dampier Strait, where a shallow coral garden leads into a wall, overhangs, and swim-throughs. Tide timing matters because current can run hard on the outer faces, while sheltered pockets hold schooling fish, reef sharks, turtles, and macro life. The mix of shallow reef, wall, and shaded cuts makes it a good choice for patient divers who want varied terrain and strong photo potential from one site.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
A light helps in the overhangs and swim-throughs; current can strengthen quickly on exposed sections, so keep the dive plan tide-aware.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Scuba divers usually start on the shallow coral garden and then work the wall, overhangs, and swim-throughs as conditions allow.
Snorkeling
The shallow coral garden can work for snorkelling when the sea is calm, but the main wall and current-swept corners are better for scuba.
