Diving in Komodo is among the most colourful and diverse in the world, with a multitude of tropical fish, turtles, manta rays and reef sharks. Dive sites, such as Batu Bolong and Manta Point, are famous for their sometimes powerful currents, attracting large pelagics and offering exciting diving. Conditions vary depending on the season, with the best diving period between April and November. Komodo is a popular destination for experienced divers looking for adventure.
The best time to dive in Komodo is between April and November, when conditions are at their best. During this dry season, the waters are calmer and visibility is excellent, reaching up to 30 meters, allowing you to fully enjoy the reefs and marine life. The months of April to June offer clear waters and the possibility of observing manta rays, while the period from September to November is ideal for macro diving enthusiasts. The months of January to March experience a rainy season with stronger currents, making some dives more difficult.
