Tatawa Island

Tatawa Island, or Tatawa Besar as it’s often called, definitely keeps you on your toes in Komodo. When the current’s running south, you're looking at a pretty swift drift, sometimes 3 knots or more, especially around the northwest corner. We’ve had a few dives there where the initial drop feels like a sprint, complete with an up-current hit just before the current splits. Once you navigate that, the reef opens up to some lovely hard coral formations. You'll often spot schools of snapper, sweetlips, and even a few reef sharks cruising past. It’s a good spot for divers who enjoy a bit of a thrill and aren't afraid of some movement in the water.
