Andiamo is a ridge, wall and pinnacle site in the Daram area of Raja Ampat — varied topography, a good warm up dive at the beginning of a trip and the possibility of some surprises.

Andiamo is a varied site in the Daram area that combines ridge, wall and pinnacle diving in one — the kind of dive where the topography keeps shifting and there’s always something coming at you from a different angle. Bumphead parrotfish are a signature sighting here, moving through the site in relaxed squadrons while the fish life stacks up around them.

While Andiamo was a super fishy dive with wobbegongs, schools of fusiliers, batfish and a sea snake, Candy Store was quieter fish wise but had some great reef and schooling snappers.
