Arefi

Arefi is a small coastal town in Southwest Papua, Indonesia. While the area is not a major international dive hub, it sits along the Halmahera Sea in the Indonesian archipelago. Local diving options are modest, with a handful of nearby dive sites accessible by local boats or day trips. Conditions are typical tropical Indonesian waters with warm temperatures, moderate to good visibility, and marine life common to the Halmahera region. The city itself is more notable as a gateway to surrounding dive areas and inland landscapes than as a renowned diving destination. If you’re planning a dive-focused trip, look for local operators in the broader Halmahera area for guided dives and site information.
