The Passage
The Passage is a narrow channel at the western end of Kabui Bay that separates Gam from Waigeo. From the surface it looks like a jungle river, but underwater the walls are covered in soft corals and sea fans. Tidal currents can be strong and make it feel like flying down a river. Look for archerfish near the surface and macro life along the walls.
