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 - Sabolon besar dive site offers some of Komodo's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Sabolon Besar, near Komodo, often gets overlooked for its flashy neighbours, but we think that’s part of its charm. It's an easy drift over healthy seagrass beds – think Thalassia, Cymodocea, Halodule – punctuated by small coral patches. You’ll spot Lattice monocle bream darting about and if you keep a keen eye, honeycomb stingrays gliding close to the bottom. It’s a gentle introduction to Komodo's quieter side, perfect for a relaxed dive before the main event or for newer divers getting comfortable with currents.
