The Passage Dive Site — Komodo

About The Passage

A narrow channel between Rinca and a small island where mangrove-lined walls create a unique ecosystem with rare species and dramatic light effects. The combination of freshwater seepage and tidal flow creates conditions for unusual critters like mandarin fish and ghost pipefish.
