Kri-area boat reef with coral color and fish life.
Boat access from a Kri-area dive center is the normal way in.
New Reef (Dom Te Te) is a Kri-area Raja Ampat reef with a colorful coral top and a broad slope that rewards controlled buoyancy. The site is known for coral bommies, strong macro life, and regular schools of reef fish, with surgeonfish often standing out on the top. It is best handled as a short boat dive that still needs tide-aware planning and a calm-water window.
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tidy on the slope and stay within the day's plan; the deeper section is better handled with discipline.
Access Restrictions
Plan it as a guided boat stop rather than an independent shore entry.
Legal Notes
Raja Ampat Marine Park Entry Permit (PIN) is required.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Short boat dive with a shallow coral top, coral bommies, and a slope that suits relaxed profiling and macro focus.
Snorkeling
Snorkelers can use the shallow top on calm days, but the site is better with a boat plan than as an independent beach stop.
