Komodo Island - Divesite Description - Part 4
The Komodo Marine National Park in Indonesia is part of the Lesser Sunda chain of Islands and forms part of the Komodo National Park. There are great dive sites to be found in our Komodo Island Dive Site Description Part 4
Dive Site Pillaarsteen - Payung Island

Dive Site Nusa Kode

Dive Site Crinoid Canyon

Dive Site Boulders


Your dive begins with forests of soft coral at 30-35m depth. Along the way to the boulders is the best place in Loh Dasami to find fire urchins with Coleman shrimp. The boulders themselves have good coral, invertebrate and fish life. Quite often manta rays can be seen in this area as well. This site is located on Nusa Kode where the bay widens just northwest of Crinoid Canyon. Directly below this point there are several big boulders laying on the bottom. The shallowest boulder is in about 8 meters of water and the deepest one is in about 30 m of water. A torch is useful on this dive. The best point of entry is 100 meters south of the point where the reef slopes down to soft coral forests on a dark sandy bottom in 30 to 35 m of water. Continue the dive to the boulders by ascending to 20m with the reef to the left. This is also a good night dive location.
Dive Site Yellow Wall - Rinca Island

Dive Site Cannibal Rock

Dive Site Torpedo Point - Rinca Island

Dive Site Toro Sie - Rinca Island

Dive Site Sebayor Kecil

Dive Site Mini Wall


The whole north face of this island is good diving. There are garden eels on the sandy slopes, and shrimp gobies and sweetlips are common. Occasionally, mandarin fish have been spotted in shallow water. This site also features beautiful coral gardens with a high abundance of both hard and soft corals. This dive is an excellent refresher/check-out dive or just a nice easy dive with good visibility, calm conditions and no current. The diving entry point is marked by a long, low, rocky point east of the beach, which is at the center of the island’s northern coast. Enter just on the eastern side of the point and swim counter-clockwise around the point at 20-25 m depth . Once around the point the reef slope will turn into a wall that drops to about 35 m depth. The wall continues to a sandy slope in front of the beach, which marks the end of the dive. A second dive can begin at the sandy slope and continue counter-clockwise across the front face of the beach to where the reef turns north and juts out to another point.
