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 - Liang Tarrusu Spot offers some of Komodo's richest wall diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Liang Tarrusu offers a gentle drift over a white sandy bottom, a nice contrast to some of Komodo's more high-octane sites. We often find it a good spot for a relaxed second dive, or for those newer to currents. Keep an eye out for the usual suspects like sweetlips and moray eels tucked into the hard and soft coral patches, but it’s the smaller stuff that really shines here – we’ve had good luck spotting Seastar Shrimp and even a few different clams. Visibility averages around 18m, and with only mild tidal currents, it’s generally a pretty comfortable dive to a maximum depth of 19m.
