Pulau Dua Express is a reef and wall system in Raja Ampat defined by its drift diving conditions. Divers typically explore depths between 14 and 30 metres, where moderate currents facilitate a purposeful drift along the wall. Visibility generally ranges from 15 to 30 metres. Due to the potential for currents to strengthen and the presence of surge, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Boat access is required for all dives. Species recorded around this area include various wrasses, groupers, triggerfish, and anemonefish, which inhabit the reef structure. Divers should remain close to the wall for shelter and follow guide instructions regarding positioning.
