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 - Siaba Kecil offers some of Komodo's richest drift diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Siaba Kecil is a mellow drift perfect for newer divers or those who just want a relaxed Komodo experience. The gentle current carries you past soft corals and bommies, often with schools of fusiliers and snapper hanging around. We usually spot turtles cruising the reef and occasionally a reef shark. It’s a nice, easy dive to warm up to the Komodo currents.
