Dive-site story
Located off Mansuar Island in Raja Ampat, Yenbuba Jetty presents a dense concentration of fish aggregated beneath a village wooden pier that steps down onto a sloping coral reef. Schools of bigeye trevally and yellowtail barracuda swirl around the wooden pilings, while sea turtles graze along the shallow hard corals. Wobbegong sharks often rest under table corals along the reef slope, and bumphead parrotfish patrol past during early morning hours.
Massive aggregations of schooling fish sheltered beneath the wooden jetty pilings
Frequent encounters with resident green sea turtles resting on shallow coral heads
Spotted wobbegongs and juvenile blacktip reef sharks resting along the slope base
