潜点: GPS Point

关于 GPS Point

GPS Point is an advanced dive site located in the Banta Island area, specifically Gili Banta, within Komodo National Park's northern region. This site is renowned for its significant shark activity and the presence of other large pelagic species, making it a thrilling location for experienced divers seeking intense underwater encounters. The topography features depths ranging from approximately 15 meters to beyond 35 meters. Divers should expect an exposed pinnacle that creates complex currents, leading to potential down-currents and challenging conditions. Given its location and the nature of the currents, it is typically accessed by liveaboards. While the sources do not specify seasonal marine life aggregations for GPS Point, Komodo's northern sites are generally rich in pelagics due to nutrient-rich upwellings. Divers can anticipate encountering various shark species and large schooling fish, contributing to the site's reputation for big animal action. This site is exclusively for experienced divers, requiring an Advanced or AOW certification and a substantial number of logged dives, often 50 or more. It is primarily a liveaboard destination, and operators typically assess diver competency through check dives before allowing access to such high-current sites.
