Dive Guide for Komodo

Komodo, Indonesia, is a diving mecca known for its high-voltage currents, dramatic underwater topography, and rich marine biodiversity. Nestled within the Coral Triangle, Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to some of the most exhilarating and biologically diverse diving in the world.

The region is famous for its dynamic dive sites where nutrient-rich currents fuel vibrant coral growth and support a vast range of marine life. Sites like Castle Rock and Crystal Rock are classic examples of pinnacles in open water that attract swirling schools of trevally, barracuda, tuna, and reef sharks. These dives are current-dependent and best suited for advanced divers.

Komodo offers a raw, untamed diving experience. It’s not always easy as currents can be strong and conditions change quickly but for those who crave thrill, variety, and biodiversity, it’s one of the absolute best dive destinations on Earth.

When to dive in Komodo

The best time to dive in Komodo is April to November, during the dry season, when visibility is generally excellent and seas are calmer. However, diving is possible year-round. July and August can bring stronger currents (and more mantas), while January to March is wetter but still diveable on the northern sites.
