Below is a description of many of the dive sites listed above.

CASTLE ROCK
Dive site location in the north of Komodo National Park.  Divers can see Fusiiers, Schools of Barracudas, Trevallies, Oriental Sweet Lips, Surgeon Mackerels, and sharks.  

MANTA POINT
This dive site is located in the heart of Komodo National Park and is famous for its gatherings of manta rays at natural cleaning stations. Divers can also encounter eagle rays, clown triggerfish, and a wide variety of marine life. The conditions usually offer a gentle drift with light currents, making it ideal for a relaxed dive. However, depending on the tides, the currents can occasionally become strong, adding an extra challenge for more experienced divers.. 

BATU BOLONG
Batu Bolong, located in the heart of Komodo National Park, takes its name from the local language meaning “hole in the rock.” From the surface, it appears as a large rock with a distinctive arch-shaped hole that can be clearly seen above the waterline. Beneath the surface, however, lies one of the park’s most spectacular dive sites, often described by guests as “an underwater aquarium.” The reef is teeming with life, where divers can encounter schools of giant trevallies, rainbow runners, Napoleon wrasses, reef sharks, and an incredible variety of corals. Because the currents around Batu Bolong can become very strong on both sides of the rock, divers are advised to always stay close to their guide for a safe and unforgettable experience. 

CRYSTAL ROCK
Crystal Rock is located in the North part of the National Park, and can offer great visibility in the deeper blue.  Divers can sometime see larger fish such as Tuna, Mackerel, Ribbon Sweet lips, Moray Eels, Scorpion fish, Basslets, Hias fish, sharks, eagle rays, manta rays, and more.
