About Shark Point Raja Ampat
Shark Point Raja Ampat is a boat-access drift dive that starts against the current on a slope and then runs into alternating wall sections. The route tightens around coral gardens and open blue water, so it rewards divers who can hold position, time their drift, and stay alert for bigger fish. Expect strong Raja Ampat color and fish density rather than a fixed shallow reef profile.
