Komodo Island Dive Packages
Komodo Island is part of the Lesser Sunda chain of islands and forms part of the Komodo National Park and consists of over 550 islands but it is dominated by the three main island of Flores, Sumba and Timor. Nestled between eastern Sumbawa and western Flores lie three tiny grass covered islands Komodo, Padar and Rinca, which together form the Komodo National Park, a protected wildlife reservation. This is the home of the giants lizard known as the "Komodo Dragon". It was thought to be a myth until the turn of the century. Komodo National Park has the lowest annual rainfall in all of Indonesia, with an abbreviated rainy season in the month of January. For most of the year Komodo is dry and hot, parched by arid winds from the Australian desert that blow from April through October. Maximum temperatures reach 43 C, with minimums of 17 C in August.
The diversity of dive options around Komodo Island is astounding, from calm and colourful shallow reefs teeming with hundreds of reef fishes and crammed with invertebrates, to current-swept deep water sea mounts, walls and pinnacles patrolled by sharks, tuna and other big fish. The multiple islands and relatively shallow seas between Flores and Komodo's west coast result in extremely fast currents at tidal changes. There are deep seas both north and south and upwellings bring nutrients and plankton to keep the seas rich and well-fed.
The water in the south of Komodo is usually much colder (21° to 26°C) than in the north. There is also a noticeable change in marine life. The north has more unpredictable currents due to the Indonesian throughflow hitting the island straight. This makes for shiftling currents and eddies but also attracts large fish in large quantity. Coral cover here is less colourful than in the south, but visibility generally better.
