Jendela Cave

# Jendela Cave Dive Site

Jendela Cave, located on Uranie Island in Raja Ampat’s Waigeo Island group, offers an exhilarating underwater exploration experience. This unique dive site features a distinctive cave formation with a natural opening—”jendela” meaning window in Indonesian—allowing light to penetrate the underwater cavern.

Divers descend to depths of 15-35 meters to explore the cave structure, encountering dramatic rock formations and ethereal light displays filtering through the opening. The site suits intermediate to advanced divers due to its cave environment and currents.

Marine life thrives here, including large pelagic species such as jacks, trevally, and reef sharks, alongside smaller residents like groupers, snappers, and nudibranchs. The healthy coral gardens surrounding the cave attract diverse tropical fish species.

The combination of geological wonder and abundant marine biodiversity makes Jendela Cave a premier destination in Raja Ampat’s world-renowned diving region, where pristine waters support exceptional underwater ecosystems.
