Cape Kri

A famous coral reef site with extensive hard coral gardens and a steep sloping wall that descends to about 40 m. The site is renowned for extraordinary biodiversity, including a world-record single-dive count of 374 fish species, and features dense schools of reef fish and large predators with common sightings of humphead parrotfish, Napoleon wrasse and hawksbill turtles. Access is by boat, typically from liveaboards or day-boat charters, and dives are conducted as drift dives in open-water conditions. Visibility is generally excellent and water temperatures are roughly 27 to 30°C year-round. Currents can be very strong, influenced by the Indonesian Throughflow, so dives are often planned for specific tide windows (especially incoming tide at dawn); divers commonly drift with the reef or use reef hooks, and the site is best dived with experienced guides and advanced or experienced divers.
