Diving in Komodo Island is an amazing experience that will allow you to explore the underwater wonders of one of the most biodiverse and beautiful regions in the world. Komodo Island is part of the Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that covers three large islands and 26 smaller ones. The park is home to the legendary Komodo dragons, the largest living lizards on Earth, as well as a variety of other wildlife and plants.

But the real attraction of Komodo Island is the diving. The park is located in the Coral Triangle, an area that contains the highest marine diversity on the planet.

Batu Bolong: A pinnacle that rises from the depths and is covered with colorful corals and sponges.

Batu Bolong is also a great spot to see turtles and rays.
Manta Point: A cleaning station where manta rays come to get rid of parasites and enjoy a spa treatment from the cleaner fish. This dive site is one of the best places to encounter these graceful giants, as they glide through the water and sometimes approach the divers.
