Triton Bay
South-east of Raja Ampat and not part of it, Triton Bay offers a different underwater landscape: greener, nutrient-rich water, walls carpeted in soft coral and a remarkable density of fish. The classic sites are Little Komodo, Larry's Heaven (also called The Aquarium), Macro Wall and Walker's Reef. Off the island of Namatota, whale sharks come to the bagan, the floating fishing platforms.

Did you know
Se la conoce como 'el paraíso perdido' por su aislamiento. Larry's Heaven debe su nombre a Larry Smith, uno de los guías que abrió el buceo en esta parte de Indonesia. Las inmersiones nocturnas son el momento de ver los tiburones bambú que se desplazan apoyándose en las aletas por el fondo.
