Guests can dive with manta rays, sharks and giant trevally in the morning, drift over pristine corals for lunch, then search the muck for macro life in the afternoon. All without ever leaving the boundaries of the park! Komodo diving includes over 50 sites offering a complete range of experiences. From current-swept channels to walls, caves, boulder-strewn slopes, colourful reefs and barren sandy muck sites, Komodo has it all.\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The diving in Komodo’s north and south is quite distinct, with each offering its own particular set of conditions and habitats. Yet despite their differences, Komodo’s dive sites all share one common trait, currents. No trip to Komodo is complete without a swirling drift dive through a channel. And, whilst they can sometimes make life difficult, these currents are what make Komodo’s diving so incredible. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>North Komodo diving\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The diving in north Komodo is typical of other parts of Indonesia, with warm, clear water and vibrant coral reefs. North Komodo diving focuses on several channels and isolated reefs, including classic sites such as Castle Rock, Crystal Bommie, Gili Lawa Laut, Shotgun and Tatawa. Castle Rock is the best northern site for bigger fish, and sightings of reef sharks, eagle rays, big tuna, giant trevallies and even dolphins are possible. Darat’s ‘Shotgun’ is also ideal for spotting bigger species that gather in the strong currents. And for those that need their manta fix, Karang Makassar is well known for congregations of rays when conditions are right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>South Komodo diving\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The diving in Komodo’s southern region is dominated by cold-water upwellings. Filter-feeders thrive in these cooler, plankton-rich waters, and hard corals give way to soft corals, fans and sponges. Smaller animals also become more diverse, and diving in the south often focuses on critter hunting. That said, the south is actually home to the best manta diving in Komodo, particularly at the aptly named Manta Alley. Here, divers can witness flying squadrons of feeding mantas, or get up close and personal as they hover over the cleaning station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visitors will also find plenty of diving on Komodo Island’s southern coast and across to Padar and Rinca. Sites such as End of the World, Cannibal Rock, Pillarsteen, Three sisters, Nusa Kode and Yellow Wall can be explored again and again. Every one, packed with unusual nudibranchs, crabs, shrimps, fire urchins and sea apples, as well as rarely-seen fish such as torpedo rays.\u003C\u002Fp>","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zubludiving.com\u002Fimages\u002FIcons\u002Fdiving.svg","Drift diving, reef diving","Advanced divers upwards - most of Komodo's sites have strong currents","Year round, but focusing on either the south or north according to the season","5 - 35m+","5 - 35m","24 - 29C",[376,380,383,386],{"type":377,"tabTitle":378,"tabContent":379},"richtext","About the Komodo National Park","\u003Cp>Komodo National Park lies between the larger islands of Sumbawa and Flores. Covering over 1,730 square kilometres, the park includes Komodo Island, Padar and Rinca, along with 26 smaller islands. On dry land, Komodo is justifiably famous for its incredible landscapes. The park’s rugged terrain is dominated by jagged peaks covered in dry savannah and dense forest. Erosion has carved the coastlines of the islands into deep bays and isolated beaches, creating some of Indonesia’s most spectacular scenery.\u003Cbr \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Komodo’s dramatic landscape continues beneath the waves, and the diversity of different habitats is matched by the park’s incredible biodiversity. The islands lie within a channel that funnels huge amounts of water between the Flores Sea and the Indian Ocean, creating dramatic currents and nutrient-rich upwellings from the deep. Perfect conditions for an incredible diversity of marine life and some superb diving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The national park was founded in 1980 to protect its infamous resident - the Komodo dragon.

The easiest and fastest way to reach Labuan Bajo is to fly from Bali with a domestic airline such as Garuda, Lion Air, Batik Air and AirAsia. Once in Labuan Bajo, resorts will arrange transfers for guests as necessary. You can also fly from Jakarta on Garuda, AirAsia, Batik and Citilink.

Divers looking for more of a holiday experience might prefer to stay on one of the islands that lie just outside the national park boundaries. But for those after the best value-for-money dive centre, staying in Labuan Bajo definitely makes more sense. And the diving is the same, no matter where you stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liveaboard boats here are either based out of Labuan Bajo year-round, or simply spend part of the year exploring Komodo.

The wet season runs from January through to April, but is considerably drier than in the islands to the west. The dry season runs from April to December with monsoon winds blowing in June, July and into August. During this period the southern areas of the park can have rough seas and are difficult to access.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From October to December, the diving focuses on the south of the park, when the water is cold and dive conditions are at their best. Diving in north Komodo is possible year-round as the sites are sheltered from any rough seas that can impact the south. Visibility varies from week to week but is typically between 5-20m in the south, and 15-30m in the north. North Komodo enjoys water temperatures of 27-28C, while the south is considerably colder with averages of around 23-24C.\u003C\u002Fp>","September to December offer great conditions and the park is less busy.","\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Experience one of the world’s richest marine environments\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Dive or snorkel with groups of manta rays\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Trek in search of the infamous Komodo dragon\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>",[392,395],{"type":393,"linkUrl":394},"specialOffersLink","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zubludiving.com\u002Fspecial-offers",{"type":396,"bannerId":397,"banner":398},"downloadGuide","indonesia-guide",{"bannerId":397,"bannerTitle":399,"zohoLinkId":400,"bannerBodyText":401,"bannerCTAText":402,"bannerCTALink":403,"bannerBackground":404,"downloadGuideText":405,"downloadGuideUrl":406},"Free Indonesia dive destination guide","4308641000019163001","\u003Cp>Discover the secrets of Indonesia in this FREE 150+ page scuba dive destination guide.
