Netz

Netz, often overshadowed by Komodo’s more famous drift dives, is one of our quiet favourites. It’s a gorgeous limestone wall, dropping to a modest 22 metres, where we’ve spent many a no-rush dive just soaking it all in. The wall itself is riddled with overhangs, draped in gorgonian seafans, and coated in a mix of hard and soft corals – lots of those wavy leather corals and robust mushroom corals. Keep your eyes peeled for pygmy seahorses here; they love to cling to the gorgonians, tiny specks in the wide blue. We’ve seen Napoleon wrasse cruising the reef edge and once spotted a leatherback sea turtle lazily finning past the deeper sections. The current is usually mild, making it a dream for photographers or anyone who wants to take their time exploring the nooks and crannies. You’ll find schools of fusiliers here, not always in massive, light-blocking clouds, but enough to add a dynamic shimmer. This site is perfect for those who appreciate detailed wall diving without the intense workout of Komodo’s stronger currents. It’s a wonderful place to slow down, really look, and find those smaller, often overlooked creatures.
