The Passage
The Passage winds between the islands of Gam and Waigeo like a saltwater river. When the current runs, divers are carried through the narrow canyon as if flying down a stream. The walls hide pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs, flatworms and sweetlips. Schools of jacks, tuna and barracuda pass through, along with reef sharks and turtles.
