Cape Kri – Raja Ampat's Legendary Dive Site

Cape Kri – Raja Ampat's Legendary Dive Site

Cape Kri isn't just a dive site; it's a living legend. Nestled in the Dampier Strait, off Kri Island's eastern tip, this reef is where scientists logged 374 fish species on a single dive – a world record. Dropping in, you'll be swept into an underwater tempest of life: clouds of orange anthias and fusiliers, patrolling reef sharks, gigantic Napoleon wrasse, and if you glance into the blue, swirling barracuda or a manta ray gliding past.
