As seen in many articles, including recently by David Doubilet in the Sept 2007 National Geographic, the passage is completely unique dive site. The narrow canyon 40 minutes away between Gam and Waigeo can be described as a river flowing between the two Islands, but also a marine environment, a haven of peculiar and unique microhabitats.
