Three Sisters, Komodo

Komodo

Three Sisters are three large submerged rocks, about 10 m apart. The tops are near the surface, about 3–5 m, and the bases sit on sand around 20–35 m depending on the rock. The coral is still healthy and the fish are rich. A fourth rock lies further west, starting around 20 m and dropping to 40 m, with sea fans.

This site takes current. Behind the rocks there are eddies, and in the saddles between the rocks there is a down-current risk. Anthias and fusiliers cloud the tops. Reef sharks cruise the edges. Pygmy seahorses are on the fans. Entry is by boat. This is for divers who are already calm in current that changes.
