Cape Kri is a sloping reef with one of the greatest abundance of fish in the world; everything from pygmies and nudibranchs to bumphead parrotfish and sharks.

Day 4  West Mansuar:

Manty Sandy is the place most guaranteed to see Mantas and close by we have the beautiful island of Arborek. The sloping reef has schools of batfish and some lovely wide angle photographic opportunities under the dock. There is an opportunity to go ashore between dives to visit the village and the night dive under the dock is excellent with macro.

Plenty of dive sites to choose from with some wonderful soft corals and macro subjects including yellow pygmies and cuttlefish. There may be an opportunity to visit a pearl farm in the afternoon followed by another excellent night dive under the dock there where you might be lucky enough to see flamboyant cuttlefish and frogfish.
