Batu Bolong Dive Site — Komodo

About Batu Bolong

Arguably Komodo's most famous dive site — a small rock pinnacle exploding with life. Strong currents bring nutrient-rich water, supporting massive schools of fish, reef sharks, and giant trevally. The entire pinnacle is encrusted in colorful soft corals from 3m to 70m depth, making it one of the most densely populated reefs in the world.
