Subjective, but Cape Kri holds the world record for most fish species counted in a single dive. Magic Mountain is famous for oceanic mantas, and Manta Sandy is the easiest manta encounter.
No — sites like Blue Magic and Magic Mountain require Advanced Open Water due to strong currents and depth. Beginners can still enjoy Friwen Wall, Mioskon, and many others.
Liveaboard only — Misool is a 16+ hour crossing from Sorong. Plan at least 7 nights to include Misool in your itinerary.
