Loh Namu, Komodo

Komodo

Loh Namu is a peninsula. The large fish gather at the south corner, on boulders spread over the drop-off. There are caves to hide in. The coral-trout schools here are among the largest in the park, with malabar grouper and very large Napoleon wrasse. They sometimes gather to spawn.

The dive goes around the point from south to north, at about 28 m, just before high tide. Around 8 m there is a giant clam. This site map lists a shore entry. The depth is about 5–30 m.

Marine life

Napoleon wrasse

Very large, at the south corner. Approach slowly.

Grouper

Malabar grouper and coral-trout schools are on the boulders and in the caves.

Macro life

The clam at 8 m is easy to pass if you drop straight to 28 m. For a photo, keep your distance.

Giant clam

Around 8 m. Do not touch the mantle.

An animal on this list is not guaranteed on every dive.
