About this dive site
West Papua soft corals and whale sharks with fewer crowds.
Triton Bay south of Kaimana pairs karst islands with soft-coral bommies and whale sharks that visit local bagan platforms when baitfish gather. Routes feel quieter than central Raja Ampat while keeping similar biodiversity. Liveaboards and homestays serve different budgets on the same water.
Whale-shark trips follow plankton and monsoon patterns; local crews pick the site - not the brochure. Calendar peak is October - April, but skippers still move sites when wind, swell or current change. Book with a crew that knows Triton Bay day to day, not just the map pin.
