Mikes's Point. Just off Cape Kri is a small rocky outcrop that drops down to 40 metres underwater.  It's named after Max Ammer's son. Max is a pioneer of Irian Jaya diving. Large schools of reef fish are present including snapper, surgeonfish and fusiliers.
On a ledge at 25 metres are gardens of huge gorgonian seafans, some of which are home to pygmy seahorse.
Currents can be very strong at Mike's Point.To give an idea how strong, in WWII the rock was bombed because the speed of the tide left a wake that that made it look like a ship from above. |
