The Komodo islands are home to some of the most beautiful dive sites on the planet. Home to abundant marine life and pristine reefs, and just an hour's flight from Bali, Indonesia.

One of the specialties of diving in this region are the strong currents in most of the dive sites, which makes for spectacular drift dives. Marine life includes giant oceanic mantas, oversized sea turtles, gray reef sharks, blacktip and whitetip sharks, octopi, dolphins, extensive fish schools, barracudas, eagle rays, nudibranchs, seahorses, mantis shrimp, and orangutan crabs.
