Castle Rock Dive Site — Komodo

About Castle Rock

Um pináculo submerso em águas abertas com correntes poderosas que atraem enormes cardumes de peixes, tubarões-cinzentos-de-recife e mantas ocasionais. O topo plano a cerca de 5m é coberto por corais duros, enquanto as paredes mergulham no azul com tubarões-de-ponta-branca e tubarões-cinzentos-de-recife patrulhando constantemente.
