Three Sisters Komodo

Three Sisters in Komodo offers a fantastic contrast to some of the area's ripping drift dives. We love coming here when we want to slow down and really pick through a site. The three big rocks are just plastered in coral, especially the blues and purples of sponge. It’s a macro dream. We often find ourselves just hovering, watching for tiny High Hat Triplefins doing their headstands, or Plain Dottybacks darting into the cracks. It's not uncommon to spot an Orangutan Crab waving its fuzzy claws from an anemone. The key here is to dive in the current's shadow, spending your time exploring the reef at depths down to 24 metres. As you near the end, you ascend onto the shallower peaks, which top out at 6 to 8 metres. That’s where you might catch a ray gliding past in the blue. Keep an eye out for sleeping reef sharks on the sand, too. This site is perfect for photographers, or anyone who enjoys a more deliberate dive, taking the time to truly observe the smaller residents.
