Diving in Komodo
There are three sites we would normally do on a Komodo National Park day trip, whether we’re going central or north, but when we choose to go to the north, the sites we choose would typically be Castle Rock, Crystal Rock and The Cauldron – aka “The Shotgun”. These three sites are on any experienced diver’s wish list when Komodo diving – Castle Rock and Crystal Rock are similar dives, pinnacle diving, where you drop out from the rock, and left the current take you on to the exposed side, where you hook on to some rock, and enjoy the show – watching the “big stuff” hunting and feeding is and exhilarating experience!
The other special site in the north that makes Komodo some of the best diving in Indonesia is The Cauldron, or The Shotgun. A gentle start, with a sloping coral reef, you head over to the canyon, to check out the busy snapper, you’ll then head across a huge bowl – the cauldron – formed by many years of current, where you get ready to exit through “the shotgun”! With the right current, you’ll shoot through the channel before ending up in a pristine coral garden hopefully spotting a few devil and manta rays.
All in all, having one of the best day trips in Komodo you could wish for.
