In December we had the opportunity to go潜水在珊瑚的心脏中, Raja Ampat Indonesia. We come across some pretty crazy looking corals, and one super old gigas clam, however the real stars of Raja Ampat were the extra larges shoals of fish.
There were a few dive sites in particular that stood out as active fish magnets and we have the video to prove it. Dense balls of fish in Raja Ampat was filmed at various dive sites around the Raja Ampat Archipelago, including Mioskon Island, Blue Magic, Cape Kri, Batu Lima and Frewin Bonda.
Of all our dives, We would rate the shallow reefs ofMioskon Islandour overall number one dive site in Raja Ampat. Not only was there a ginormous gigas clam next to an itty bitty pontohi seahorse, but there was a humungous school of snapper roaming the shallows (video at 1:40).
In terms of fish densityFrewin Bondacame in a close second, the schools weren’t as large as some of the other dive sites but we found the greatest diversity of fish. The Frewin Bonda dive site is a touch North West of Batu Lima (at the top of the map) and you dive along an overhanging rock wall which almost touches the surface of the water. We choose to start the dive about 100m before the wall and enjoyed the shallow reef before getting to a steeper drop off (video at 4:00)
Coming in third we really likedCape Kri。在这个大坡度的底部(约35m),我们发现了外科医生的鱼类和甜菜。在珊瑚礁的顶部附近,潮流真正捡到的是一些大型的Humphead wrasse和Anthias学校(视频,1:15)。作为荣誉提名,没有使视频是我们在Batu Lima的潜水。如果您正在寻找有翼的管道或其他Pontohi Seahorse,请确保查看此宏潜水地点。
