    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Sangeang is a bit of a detour from the main Komodo action, an active volcanic island that’s pretty striking above the surface with its lava ridges. Underwater, at sites like Bubble Reef, you’ll find some real character. We’ve seen healthy mixes of soft and hard corals here, along with those fascinating black corals that feel unique to volcanic areas. Keep an eye out for the white stinging hydroids and plenty of anemones; it’s a good spot for macro life and generally offers warm water with good visibility. It suits divers looking for something a little different, a break from the usual Komodo drift dives, and who appreciate a healthy reef.
