Blue Magic Dive Site — Raja Ampat
About Blue Magic
A submerged seamount in open water that attracts everything big — mantas, grey reef sharks, barracuda, and huge schools of fusiliers. The pinnacle rises from 30m to about 7m and is entirely covered in soft corals and anemones. Currents can be strong and unpredictable, making this a site for experienced divers who are rewarded with some of Raja Ampat's most spectacular pelagic encounters.
