Tatawa Besar
“ Tatawa Besar was absolutely one of my favorite dive sites in Komodo National park. We have a light drift but saw many turtle, two sharks, and optopus and cuddle fish. Epic diving, in my opinion!" - Lee - Belgium.
Introduction to Tatawa BesarWelcome to Tatawa Besar, the crown jewel of the Tatawa islands, nestled in the North Central part of the Komodo National Park. This diving destination promises an enchanting underwater experience, with its unique coral gardens and diverse marine life setting it apart in the Komodo archipelago
Underwater Landscape of Tatawa BesarAt the Northwestern tip of the island lies a diving haven, showcasing one of Komodo's most spectacular coral gardens. Tatawa Besar boasts a sloping coral reef adorned with hard and soft corals, predominantly displaying orange-reddish hues—a distinctive feature that sets it apart in the Komodo National Park.
Diving Experience at Tatawa BesarDiving at Tatawa Besar is a delightful drift in shallow waters, offering a thrilling journey over a vibrant underwater landscape that spans hundreds of meters. Despite its maximum depth of 30 meters, the marine life spectacle unfolds between 5 and 18 meters' depth. Some coral gardens even grace the surface, providing snorkelers with a sublime experience.
Marine Life EncountersPrepare to be mesmerized as you drift along Tatawa Besar's currents, encountering giant trevallies, barracudas, reef fish, parrot fishes, white and black tip reef sharks, napoleon wrasses, batfish, cuttlefish, oriental sweetlips, eagle rays, and a bustling school of fusiliers. The luckiest divers might even spot Manta Rays and dolphins, creating moments of pure magic. When the currents calm, the island's corner becomes a haven for hawksbill turtles and thousands of schooling fish.
Macro-photography OpportunitiesTatawa Besar isn't just a haven for large marine life; it's also a paradise for macro-photography enthusiasts. During dives with no current, explore boulders, tube sponges, and sea fans, uncovering hidden treasures like nudibranchs, leafy scorpionfish, shrimps, orangutan crabs, frogfish, and candy crabs.
Diving Conditions and AlternativesWhile classified as a drift dive site, Tatawa Besar offers an easy drift in shallow waters, making it accessible to a range of divers. With mild to moderate currents, it serves as an excellent alternative when other sites in Komodo National Park, like Tatawa Kecil or Batu Bolong, experience strong currents.
Best Time to Dive Tatawa BesarThe good news for diving enthusiasts is that Tatawa Besar welcomes divers all year long. However, the prime period to explore its colorful landscapes is from April to November, ensuring optimal conditions for a remarkable underwater adventure.
Location and AccessibilitySituated in the North-East part of Komodo Island, Tatawa Besar is a gem waiting to be explored. Only 30 km east of Komodo, it boasts one of the healthiest reefs, making it a haven for turtles, blacktip reef sharks, giant trevallies, barracudas, and occasional Manta Rays.
