    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    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.
