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 - Karang Pamalu offers some of Komodo's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Karang Pamalu sits on the eastern side of Komodo, and while it might not get the same hype as some of the southern sites, it delivers a really solid coral dive. We’ve seen healthy hard and soft corals here, with plenty of the usual reef fish cruising through. It’s generally a pretty relaxed dive, making it a good choice if you're looking for something less demanding than Komodo's famous current-swept drifts. We'd suggest it for divers who appreciate a healthy reef without the adrenaline.
