    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    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.
