Why dive here
With 203+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), pygmy seahorses, sea turtles and sperm whales - Bone Malea offers some of Komodo's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Bone Malea sits about a 30-minute boat ride from Padang Harbour, or 20 minutes from Sunari Beach Resort. It’s a gentle slope down to a sandy bottom at 21 meters, scattered with both hard and soft corals and some decent sea fans. We usually see turtles cruising by, a few snappers and groupers hanging out, and if you look closely on the sand, you might spot a ribbon eel or a nudibranch. Visibility averages around 14 meters, so it’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, maybe for divers getting comfortable in Komodo’s currents.
