Taka Lambaena
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 - Taka Lambaena offers some of Komodo's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest April, May, November.
Taka Lambaena is a shallow reef in Komodo, often overlooked for the more famous drift dives. We like it as a pleasant second or third dive of the day, where the currents are usually milder. It's a good spot for spotting reef sharks cruising the edges and for taking your time with the resident turtles. This site suits divers who prefer a relaxed pace over adrenaline.
