Blue Magic
Blue Magic is a submerged pinnacle in open water between Kri and Waigeo, with its top at about 7-8 m and its base around 30 m. Cleaning stations on the plateau attract reef and oceanic mantas. Big schools of jacks, barracuda, Spanish mackerel and dogtooth tuna patrol the edges, and wobbegong sharks rest on the reef. Currents are often strong.
