and unique marine life. Today we spend the day diving around Sangeang
Volcano - 2-3 dives for rare nudibrancs, pygmy seahorse, leaf scorpion
fish, blue ribbon eels, black sand diving with all its treasures and
underwater hot springs that support this very unique marine
environment. Night dive here too or head on over to Gili Banta for the
chance for Star Gazers and coral cat shark.
Day 4: Current depending, we start the day at GPS Point Gili
Banta famous for its sharks and pelagic fishes. Then we enter the
Komodo National Park and for more exhilarating blue water/fish soup
diving ! Gili Lawalaut has several great dives - if the tide is right
we hunt grey reef shark and dolphin at Taka Toko Gili Lawalaut.
Lighthouse Reef and The Old Passage offer fast drifts with pelagics,
maybe manta ! Crystal Rock offers awesome soft corals in gold and
orange hues plus the chance for sharks, turtles, giant Maori wrasse, a
‘fish soup” dive. Tonight we dive the famous Pink Beach - spectacular
colours and frogfish, slipper lobster, basket stars, robust sea
cucumbers unqiue to the area plus more !
Day 5: Start your day with an exciting visit to Loh Liang
Komodo National Park to walk with the dragons ! And as we quietly walk
through the bush setting look out for Komodo dragons, deer, wild boar
and birds. Then relax as we cruise south to dive the Three Sisters or
Pillarsteen at Padar Island. Next stop is a diver's paradise -
Horseshoe Bay Rinja Island - home of one of the top 10 dives in the
world - Cannibal Rock - an abundance of corals, sponges, ascidians,
sea apples, black corals, turtle, cuttlefish, loads of reef fishes too
! Here we can also watch dragons scavenging on the beach, monkey,
deer, wild pigs along the shore, go beach combing…. Maybe even a
chance to follow whales and dolphin feeding in the calm bay. We
overnight at this peaceful place, diving at one of the many fabulous
spots.
Day 6: More world class dives roday as we relax in Horseshoe
Bay Rinja Island - the Yellow Wall of Texas is absolutely stunning
covered with enormous yellow soft corals. Go slowly along the wall
looking for unique creatures but don't forget to look out into the
blue to see what's coming by…maybe e make a deep dive to check if the
tiny yellow pygmy seahorses are on the giant gorgonians at depth. Nusa
Kode offers more walls and critter chances coupled with white tip reef
sharks etc ! Torpedo Alley is famous for its "electric" rays and
perhaps one of the best night dives of your life for critter fanciers.
Day 7: Today we'll head on over to Manta Alley to watch in awe
as these magnificent creatures feed, play and get cleaned at the many
cleaning stations. In the afternoon we can check out more big fish
dives maybe at Loh Serah, Tatawa Kecil or the infamous "Current City"

Wrasse. Many good night dives around here - Gili Darat is great for
sleeping turtles, colourful reef stonefish, spanish dancers - calm sea

Darat is so awesome you will all want more so today we make 2-3 dives

Putih in Sumbawa - both interesting sites. Overnight we cruise back to
