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 - Gaja Rock dive site offers some of Komodo's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Gaja Rock is a decent spot in Komodo, often overshadowed by its more famous neighbours. You'll find a good collection of small reef fish here, particularly triplefins and cardinalfish – it's a great site if you enjoy macro spotting. We’ve seen green turtles cruising by on occasion too. It's a relaxed dive, good for taking your time and observing the smaller stuff without strong currents.
