Fiabacet Dive Site — Raja Ampat
About Fiabacet
A coral wall dropping into the deep blue near Misool. Excellent for pygmy seahorses on gorgonian fans and schooling fish along the wall. The wall starts at 5m and plummets beyond sport diving limits, with large barrel sponges protruding into the current. Schools of batfish and barracuda patrol the edge, and lucky divers may spot oceanic manta rays passing in the blue water beyond the wall.
