A lesser-known gem in the south of Komodo National Park. This sloping reef is covered in beautiful soft corals and gorgonian fans. The site is known for its healthy population of reef fish and occasional visits from eagle rays and reef sharks. Protected from the strongest currents, it offers a more relaxed dive compared to neighbouring sites.
