Cape Kri

A sloping wall at the northeast point of Kri Island in the Dampier Strait, holding the record for the highest fish count logged on a single dive: 374 species, set by marine biologist Gerald Allen. Currents form where channels meet near Kri, so divers are advised to stay deep to avoid the strongest surface current.
