About Sofias
Sofias is a short-boat headland reef on North Maluku's resort side, with coral blocks and a sandy plateau. The route is simple: a boat drop onto a marginal reef that slopes away instead of breaking into a wall. Humphead parrotfish, blacktip reef sharks, clown triggerfish, black clownfish, halfbeaks, and butterfly fish are among the standout sightings, alongside table corals, soft corals, barrel sponges, and feather stars. It suits divers who want an easy boat hop and a reef that keeps changing as it drops to sand.
