Gentle Raja Ampat reef for relaxed macro dives and snorkeling.
Plan Uri through a local Raja Ampat operator; this is not a walk-in shore stop.
Uri is a Raja Ampat reef tucked just inside the entrance to a lake-like channel between two islands, with dense hard coral in the shallows and a gentle slope that rewards slow, close-up diving. It suits relaxed boat days, snorkel stops, and patient photographers who want frogfish, pipefish, and other small reef life rather than big-current action.
