About this spot

Toblerone is a dive site in Raja Ampat, Indonesia, known locally as Kapatcol Fat Island. Located in Southwest Papua Province, this spot delivers consistent diving conditions throughout the year, making it accessible whenever you plan your trip. The site sits outside protected marine areas, so conditions can vary seasonally. Marine life at Toblerone includes 12 documented species, giving divers solid odds of encountering reef fish, rays, and other Indo-Pacific residents. The community has captured 3 video records from the site, which offer real footage of what's typically found underwater here. These videos are your best preview before booking a trip. Coral health is worth monitoring at this location. Like many Indonesian reefs, Toblerone sits on the coral bleaching watch list. This doesn't rule out great dives, but it signals that reef conditions fluctuate with water temperature and seasonal stress. Expect variable coral cover depending on when you visit and recent weather patterns. Access and logistics depend on operators in Raja Ampat. The area is remote, so plan boat transfers and accommodation in advance. Toblerone works well as part of a multi-site diving itinerary across Raja Ampat's extensive underwater geography.

The tribe that evolved to stay underwater longer – BBC REEL

  • My family are of the same tribe, and I grew up watching my uncles dive for food. They would be diving for hours with only a homemade harpoon as a tool. My cousins and I would dive for sea urchins and hunt eels as a pastime but also to bring food to the table. When there wasn't enough money to buy food, the sea always provided it.
