Police Corner

Police Corner often gets overlooked for its flashy neighbours, but we think that’s a mistake. This site, sitting smack in the middle of Komodo, is a proper coral showstopper. We often drift over extensive fields of staghorn and branched sandpaper corals, the colours just pop even on an overcast day. Down to 25 metres, the reef rolls into some impressive overhangs, perfect for spotting a white-tip reef shark snoozing in the shade, or a moray eel peeking out. Current here can definitely pick up, so it's best for divers comfortable with a bit of a ride, though it's usually a pretty consistent push. We've seen giant trevallies hunting fusiliers, their scales flashing silver as they dart through the schools. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too; peacock mantis shrimp are surprisingly common in the rubble patches towards the end of the dive. Visibility averages around 17 metres, which is plenty to take in the sheer volume of healthy coral.
