Dive Overview

Diving in Komodo National Park offers an exhilarating mix of vibrant coral reefs, powerful currents, and exceptional marine biodiversity. This UNESCO-listed region is home to over 1,000 species of fish and 260 types of coral, making it one of the richest marine ecosystems on the planet. Divers can expect thrilling drift dives, close encounters with manta rays, reef sharks, turtles, and the occasional mola mola or dolphin. Sites like Batu Bolong, Castle Rock, and Manta Alley are legendary for their intensity and abundance of life, while calmer bays and sheltered reefs provide excellent conditions for macro photography and night dives.
