Citrus Ridge Dive Site — Raja Ampat
About Citrus Ridge
A stunning ridge covered in bright orange and yellow soft corals. Wobbegong sharks, turtles, and incredible macro life along the ridge. The vivid coloration of the dendronephthya soft corals gives this site its citrus name, and the display is most spectacular during incoming current. Pygmy seahorses hide among the gorgonians, and blue-ringed octopus shelter in the crevices between coral heads.
