The Wayags are part of the larger Raja Ampat Islands off the coast of Indonesia’s West Papua Province. These small, uninhabited islands are popular with divers and snorkelers eager to explore the vast and diverse reef system surrounding them. The Wayags are part of the Coral Triangle, which covers only 1.6 percent of Earth’s oceanic region, but contains 76 percent of every known coral species on the planet.
