Dive sites you may visit
Komodo National Park is home to some of the world’s most iconic dive sites. On your daily dive trip, you could explore:
The North
-
This submerged pinnacle sits in the blue, exposed to the tidal currents of the Indonesian Throughflow. Massive aggregations of schooling fishes like fusiliers, jacks and surgeon fish provide a tasty snack for pelagic predators. White and black tip reef sharks, tunas and giant trevallies are regulars here – especially if the current is strong.
-
The top of this pinnacle peaks out of the water if the tide is low and creates a whirlpool of white foam around the crown. Sister to Crystal Rock, the scenery is similarly action-packed and exciting. If you are tired of hanging out with the bannerfish in the split, we can check out the sea fans that sometimes host pygmy seahorses.
-
One of Komodo’s most thrilling site, this dive is sure to give you an adrenalin rush! The channel between Gili Lawa Darat and Gili Lawa Laut is divided by a bowl or well - a cauldron. A slow drift to start with the speed picks up on your way towards the cauldron. The dive culminates at “the shotgun” where you are propelled into the channel! You can catch your breath once you reach the beautiful, sheltered coral garden on the other side.
-
Drifting through the channel between Gili Lawa Darat and Komodo Island the changing scenery is a feast for the eyes. The ride takes you through rocky canyons, vibrant coral gardens and sandy slopes dotted with glassfish covered bommies, schools of giant sweetlips, trevallies, bumphead parrotfish and often turtles.
-
This pristine hard coral garden is made up of delicate coral structures, surrounded by glassfish, sheltering leaf scorpion fish, octopus and mandarin fish. But be aware of your buoyancy - don’t be the proverbial bull in a China shop.
Central
-
Over 2km long, this is by far the largest dive site in Komodo. The drift dive takes us over a lunar landscape dotted with coral bommies – cleaning stations for mantas! Although not rich in coral, the dive site is frequented by sharks, turtles, bumphead parrotfish and the occasional eagle ray feeding on the bottom.
-
Located in the middle of the Lintah Strait, this pinnacle is exposed to some serious current. But don’t worry, this site is dived on the sheltered lee side. The rock drops down to 75m and is a meeting point for all sorts of marine life. While further down the pelagic predators pass by the upper part is dominated by a staggering array of reef fish. Visibility is often limited by the number of antheas in your field of vision.
-
This sloping reef features all the usual suspects, including leaf scorpion fish, mantis shrimp, octopus and cuttlefish blending into a pink soft coral garden. But don’t spend all your time with your head buried in sand and coral, because this dive site is also a manta cleaning station. A shadow passing over you is not always a cloud.
-
This dive site has one of the most astonishing coral gardens in the Park. The breath-taking variety of coral species creates a magical wonderland for divers and snorkellers alike. Cuttlefish, turtles, triggerfish and batfish tumble along the endless fields of orange soft coral. A closer look reveals small invertebrates hiding in nooks and crannies.
-
Framed by coral reef this lagoon is sheltered from the main currents and provides a haven for small critters as well as turtles. Hidden in seagrass and patches of sand we may find seahorses, ribbon eels, flamboyant cuttlefish, ghost pipe fish and mimic octopus.
-
At Wainilu we look for rare creatures and odd bottom dwellers like harlequin shrimp, seamoths, frogfish and mandarin fish. Basically, a macro photographer’s wet dream.
Marine life in Komodo
Komodo’s waters are part of the Coral Triangle, known as the most biodiverse marine region in the world. During your dives you may encounter:
Big marine life: manta rays, reef sharks, turtles, napoleon wrasse, and dolphins.
Schooling fish: fusiliers, trevally, snappers, and barracudas.
Macro life: nudibranchs, pygmy seahorses, frogfish, and shrimps.
Healthy corals: hard and soft corals bursting with color and life.
Every dive is a new adventure, with both pelagic action and intricate reef details waiting to be discovered.
