Wooden Boat Wreck, Komodo

Komodo

Wooden Boat Wreck is the remains of a wooden boat in south Komodo. The wreck sits in the 5–18 m range, matching this site map, and the current is mild. Coral and sponges already cover part of the wood, so the wreck works as a reef.

Named on this wreck: ghost pipefish, crocodilefish, longnose hawkfish, and mandarinfish. All of them are small and not guaranteed. Entry is by boat. Do not go inside what is left of the hull.
