Dive-site story
Situated in the remote Daram island group of southern Raja Ampat, Romeo features submerged reef ridges and coral-encrusted boulders swept by nutrient-rich passages. Sea fan gardens blanket the deeper slopes, giving way to shallow coral formations where anthias and damselfish feed in the current. Divers drift along the topography while watching for pelagics patrolling the blue.
Vast fields of colorful sea fans and soft corals draping limestone slopes
Schools of yellowtail fusiliers and chevron barracuda aggregating in current zones
Macro opportunities including pygmy seahorses tucked into gorgonian branches
