Dive-site story
Stretching along the southern coastline of Kri Island in the Dampier Strait, this site features an expansive coral slope punctuated by large bommies and sandy channels. Divers drift along dense fields of hard corals and gorgonian sea fans while keeping an eye on the blue for pelagic visitors. Tidal flows funnel nutrient-rich water past the reef, attracting schools of snappers, fusiliers, and hunting reef sharks.
Extensive hard coral gardens and sea fans covering the sloping reef
Frequent encounters with resting wobbegongs and patrolling blacktip reef sharks
Large schools of sweetlips, barracuda, and feeding bumphead parrotfish
Dynamic drift diving along the southern edge of Pulau Kri
