Diving Safari
the sea Komodo represents a
unique range of geological and biological diversity. On shore it is
an amazing museum diorama of the Mesozoic era dry tundra and
reptilian supremacy. Komodo's symbol of international fame its
dragons, the world's largest living lizard.
In the sea it's vibrant color and exotic life will enchant
divers and snorkelers alike as endless schools of fish ride
the waterways rushing up from deep sea vents, below them the
seabed is covered with a thick carpet of florescent corals
and marine invertebrates, an underwater photographers
paradise.
The waters that surround the island are turbulent and
teeming with unparalled marine life. A marine reserve has
recently been established and this reserve is largely
undocumented and remains unexplored. Komodo National Park
was established in 1980. It was declared as a Man and
Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site in 1986. KNP
includes three major islands - Komodo, Rinca and Padar and
numerous smaller islands together totaling 41,000 ha of land
contains 132,000 ha of marine waters.
The corals in Komodo National park are pristine, with
Mantas, sharks, turtles, dolphins, dugong, many pelagics, to
the tiny pygmy seahorses, nudi branchs, frog fish, you name
it we've got it. The sites vary from gentle easy coral
slopes to heart pounding adrenalin rides, from the warm
waters of the Flores Sea in the north to the chillier waters
down south in the Indian Ocean, the underwater terrain is so
varied with sheer cliff walls, pinnacles, sandy flat
bottoms, underwater plateaus, slopes, caves, swim-throughs,
channels, all with varying colours, sizes and types of coral
both hard and soft.
