Dive-site story
Four Kings is an iconic underwater formation in the southern reaches of Raja Ampat, featuring four interconnected submerged pinnacles linked by deep ridges. Divers step off liveaboards into sweeping currents that fuel kaleidoscopic soft corals, massive sea fans, and dense schools of pelagic predators schooling around the rocky spires.
Series of four underwater pinnacles carpeted in purple and orange soft corals
Frequent encounters with oceanic and reef manta rays cruising the ridge tops
Thick schools of chevron barracudas, bigeye trevally, and schooling batfish

Seasonality
South Raja Ampat liveaboard operations run primarily during the northwest monsoon when seas in Misool remain placid.
