Komodo National Park features one of Indonesia's richest and most biodiverse scuba diving and even the world. Certainly one of the best diving destinations in Indonesia.
Also renowned as the home of the famous Komodo dragon, Komodo National Park is located in the strait of the same name at the confluence of the Indian Ocean and the Banda Sea.
In the north, you can find a collection of the world’s most beautiful varieties of reefs, boasting a rich combination of hard and soft corals, shoals of anthias, wrasses, angelfishes, and also predators—reef sharks, tunas, and giant kingfishes.
In the south, you will see more soft corals with an amazing profusion of colors, and even more macro (and manta rays too!). The water is rather cold and the temperature can drop down to 23°C in July and August.
Komodo offers a wide variety of dives: pelagic dives with sharks in strong currents, gentle drift dives, wall dives (colorful drop-offs, monumental boulders, seamounts, pinnacles, and sandy slopes), and macro dives. You can also find manta rays, turtles and if you are lucky enough, some whale sharks and cownose rays.
For many. the beauty of Komodo diving can only be beaten by the holy grail of Indonesian diving, Raja Ampat.
Komodo is well known for its consistent currents that bring incredible life. Wallacea Dive Cruises has a long experience diving these sites. We pay close attention to diving in the right places at the right time, to avoid difficult or dangerous currents.
