Torro Sie, Komodo

Komodo

Torro Sie is a point on southwest Rinca. Beside it a rock nearly breaks the surface. A ridge runs west from that rock, covered in feather stars and soft coral.

On the bottom around the rock there are critters. Swim southwest over the sand and there is a patch reef with good fish, and large groupers are often there. Visibility is better in the northwest monsoon, like many southern sites. The depth is about 5–30 m. Entry is by boat.

Marine life

Grouper

Often on the patch reef southwest of the rock.

Macro life

The ridge and the sand beside the rock are the close-up ground. For macro photos, use a macro lens and a focus light.

Critters around the rock

The bottom around the near-surface rock is where the small animals are. Feather stars cover the ridge.

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