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.
