Dive-site story
Located in the Misool region of Raja Ampat, Wedding Cake takes its name from the tiered limestone shelves stepping down beneath the surface. The underwater structure features layers of overhangs and plateaus crowded with massive sea fans, vibrant soft corals, and dense sponges. Schools of fusiliers and jacks pulse along the current-facing corners, while the sheltered recesses harbor delicate macro subjects.
Stepped rock ledges adorned with huge gorgonian sea fans and colorful Dendronephthya corals
Frequent sightings of wobbegong sharks resting beneath tabular hard corals and rocky ledges
Dense aggregations of pelagics and trevally hunting around the current splits
