Komodo, East Nusa Tenggara
Komodo Diving is recognized as a world-class scuba diving scene by UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of the best dive sites in Indonesia. Komodo National Park, a series of volcanic islands containing around 5,700 enormous lizards known as Komodo dragons, is an hour's flight from Bali. Divers can observe large schools of fish as well as eagle and manta rays almost all year.
North, Central, and South Komodo are the three distinct diving areas on the island of Komodo. North Komodo is a popular destination for drift diving, with large schools of fish and a variety of pelagic species visible at their cleaning stations. The currents are usually strong, therefore diving here is best left to experienced divers. However, this is one of the reasons why diving Komodo is so exciting and full of sea life. Central Komodo is no less thrilling, with world-class dive sites like Batu Bolong, which has a mind-blowing range of colors and fish life, and Manta Point, where up to 50 mantas can be seen mating and feeding at once if tourists visit during the right season. In addition, there are other good macro sites in the vicinity. The North and Central Komodo areas can be dived all year, however the greatest diving conditions are from March to October.
