Located between the islands of Sumbawa & Flores in the East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province, sits the vast & impressive Komodo National Park. Encompassing a total of 29 volcanic islands (including the 3 major islands: Rinca, Padar & Komodo), it is home to approximately
2,500 Komodo Dragons & other terrestrial fauna such as various species of reptiles, birds, & mammals.
The climate in the Komodo National Park is one of the driest in Indonesia. The national park experiences little to no rainfall for approximately 8 months of the year & is heavily impacted by monsoonal rains. Daily temperatures during the dry season between May to October average around 40 C. Due to this dry climate, the land is rough with stony hills & plant species are limited to grass, shrubs, orchids, & trees.
In contrast, the marine area has a rich & colourful landscape. The area is famous for its fierce currents, riptides, & whirlpools which bring in rich nutrients from the depths of the Indian Ocean to create ideal conditions for thousands of species of tropical fish & corals to flourish. Diving sites range from challenging blue water current dives with a chance of glimpsing manta rays,
sharks & dugongs, to low visibility muck dives where divers can discover rare invertebrae closer shore.
Diving in the Komodo National Park will bring you to the heart of the most dynamic marine environments in the world.
