Diving at Triton Bay Divers

The beachside dive centre keeps operations small and personal, with a maximum of four guests assigned to each guide and four custom-built dive boats available for exploring the local reefs. Packages offer up to three guided boat dives a day, while the house reef provides plenty of underwater interest closer to the resort. Divers have their own equipment storage, and can use the dedicated camera room. A limited selection of equipment is available for rent, although bringing your own gear is recommended. A range of PADI and SSI courses are also available. 

Most dives take place around the Iris Strait, where more than 30 sites have already been identified and many of the richest reefs are relatively shallow. Little Komodo combines soft-coral-covered boulders with sweetlips, snapper, wobbegongs and pygmy seahorses, while Bo’s Rainbow is equally suited to wide-angle and macro photography. White Rock, Andy’s Point, Batu Jatuh and Christmas Rock add everything from black coral and critters to bumphead parrotfish, Napoleon wrasse and schooling fish. Whale shark and dolphin encounters at local bagans - traditional fishing platforms - are another unique Triton Bay experience. A whale shark trip is included for diving guests staying at least seven nights, but sightings are never guaranteed. 

Diving in Triton Bay

Triton Bay offers a different experience to better-known areas of West Papua. Nutrient-rich water can reduce visibility, but it helps fuel extraordinarily productive reefs characterised by prolific soft corals, huge black coral bushes and dense concentrations of fish. Walls, pinnacles, slopes and enormous coral-covered boulders provide plenty of variety, with marine life ranging from pygmy seahorses and mandarinfish to giant groupers, Napoleon wrasse, barracuda, jacks, wobbegongs and whale sharks. Endemic species including the Triton Bay walking shark and Nursalim flasher wrasse add another layer of interest. The resort operates from October until early June, with diving conditions typically at their best from November to April.

Getting There

Kaimana Airport (KNG) is the gateway to Triton Bay Divers and is generally reached from Jakarta via connections in Sorong or Manokwari. Complimentary speedboat transfers operate between Kaimana and Aiduma Island on Saturdays, taking up to 1.5 hours, though Wednesday transfers are also available at an additional cost. Guests need to arrive in Kaimana by 13:00 to meet the resort transfer.

Other Activities

Days do not have to revolve entirely around scuba. Guests can snorkel, explore the coastline by kayak, walk through the jungle to a neighbouring beach or arrange visits to local villages. Whale shark excursions can also be joined by non-divers, allowing travelling companions to share one of the region’s headline wildlife experiences.
