Blue Magic (Raja Ampat)

Depth: 5–30 mLevel: Advanced Open WaterOctober-April

A seamount rising from deep water to form a shallow reef top — the crest sits at around 10 m — before falling away in a steep slope towards the blue. It is a compact but extremely dense reef: the nutrient-laden currents make it a gathering point, and along its edges are cleaning stations to which the manta rays return regularly.
