Komodo National Park – A Diver’s Dream

Komodo National Park is often described as one of the world’s most extraordinary places to dive. Sitting at the heart of the Coral Triangle, it offers an incredible mix of powerful currents, rich biodiversity, and awe-inspiring underwater landscapes.

Beneath the Surface

Expect a kaleidoscope of coral reefs, walls, ridges, and seamounts swept by nutrient-rich waters. These conditions attract an impressive range of life—from manta rays gliding effortlessly in the current to reef sharks, turtles, and vast schools of fish. For those who love the little details, Komodo is also heaven for macro photographers, with critters such as pygmy seahorses, frogfish, and flamboyant nudibranchs.

Must-Dive Highlights

• Batu Bolong – A vibrant pinnacle where swirling anthias mix with larger predators cruising in the blue.

• Crystal Rock – Famous for its dramatic topography, healthy coral, and schooling trevallies.
• Manta Alley & Makassar Reef – Two of the best places to encounter manta rays in large numbers.
• Siaba Besar – Often called “Turtle City” thanks to its abundance of green and hawksbill turtles.

It’s a favorite among photographers for its mix of macro subjects and dramatic reef scenery.

Above the Waterline

• Komodo’s magic doesn’t stop underwater. Jagged volcanic islands, pink beaches, and the legendary Komodo dragons create a setting that feels almost prehistoric. Hikes to Padar Island’s viewpoint or watching the sun melt into the horizon from Gili Lawa Darat are unforgettable experiences.

A Destination for Every Diver

• Whether you’re chasing adrenaline in current-swept channels or hunting for tiny gems in the sand, Komodo has it all. Each dive is unique, and every trip leaves divers with memories that last a lifetime.
