Seraya kecil dive site - Komodo
Seraya Kecil feels like a comfortable local spot. We’ve seen lattice monocle bream here, hanging out in the sunlight, and occasionally a honeycomb stingray glides by in the sand patches. It’s not a dramatic wall dive, but the seagrass beds, a mix of cymodocea and halodule, make for interesting macro hunting. Our pick for a relaxed afternoon dive, especially good for photographers keen to slow down and find the smaller stuff.
