About this spot

Aerborek Jetty sits near Air Beroi Island in Raja Ampat, one of Indonesia's most biodiverse marine regions. The jetty provides a working entry point to explore the surrounding reef and pelagic habitat that define this part of Southwest Papua. Visibility and depth conditions vary seasonally, so check with local operators before planning your trip. The site supports a documented range of coral and fish species typical of Raja Ampat's high-diversity ecosystem. With 12 recorded species observations from the community, the jetty attracts divers interested in macro work and reef surveying. Coral bleaching is a concern in the region, making seasonal timing and site selection important for responsible diving. Year-round access means you can dive here in any month, though conditions will shift. Community videos show what to expect underwater. The jetty itself offers a convenient reference point for navigation and a natural gathering spot for boat traffic. Air Beroi Island and its surrounding waters remain outside the formal marine protected area network, so local regulations and guide protocols matter—confirm requirements and conditions before arrival.
