Komodo Scuba Diving - Komodo Dive Sites

Komodo Marine National Park is unique because it offers two totally different marine environments. In the north we experience the warm clear water flows from Flores and Banda sea, it is typical of most tropical location throughout the world and the hard coral reefs are extensive and in pristine condition.

In the south, we encounter cooler water flows from the deep of Indian Ocean. It is not unusual to encounter whale, whale shark, mantas, sunfish and other planktonic feeder during dive on the southern sites. Upwelling, caused by deep ocean current colliding with the continental shelf force an endless supply of planktonic food towards the surface resulting in a rich coral garden and an exceptional quantity of marine life.

The confluence of those two distinct marine ecospheres caused tremendous diversity found in Komodo Marine National Park.
