Batu Tiga, Komodo

Komodo

Batu Tiga is southeast of Tanjung Kuning, in the Lintah Strait. The three rocks take some of the strongest current in Komodo, so the dive is awkward. The coral is short because of that current.

Enter on the northeast side, then swim counter-clockwise to the large boulders at about 33 m. Groupers and other large fish are there. Mantas, giant trevally, and pelagic fish often pass. Then turn back, with the reef on the right. The depth is about 12–35 m. Entry is by boat, best near slack.
