Bonsai dive site

Bonsai is a Komodo site that we've always found a bit... subtle. It doesn't scream at you with massive pelagics or dizzying drift dives, but for those who appreciate the smaller, stranger things, it's absolutely fantastic. Think of it as a macro photography playground, a real treasure hunt for the patient diver. We're talking critters galore here, particularly if you’re into the truly tiny. You’ll spend your dive exploring scattered patches of coral amongst seagrass beds, feeling a gentle current often pushing you along. Keep your eyes peeled for the Bicolor Blennies darting in and out of crevices, and we’ve spotted Pink Anemonefish here more than once. The Fluted Clams and Small Giant Clams bring pops of colour to the substrate. It's not a deep dive, maybe 15 metres max, making for good bottom time. Our favourite finds have always been the Seastar Shrimp, almost perfectly camouflaged, and the Crinoid Clingfish, tiny jewels nestled amongst their hosts. It's a fantastic spot for photographers, or anyone who just wants to slow down and really look. Just remember, Bonsai demands your attention to reveal its wonders.
