Komodo National Park Dive Sites
End of the World South Komodo | Remote, rugged, and raw — this is where Komodo diving lives up to its name.
8.7880°S, 119.6720°E
End of the World sits at the far southern tip of Komodo National Park, where the ocean feels vast and untamed. Exposed to powerful currents and nutrient-rich upwellings, this remote dive site is known for its dramatic topography and dense marine life. It’s an advanced dive — unpredictable and often challenging — but it offers some of the most exhilarating underwater encounters in the park.
Named for its wild, almost cinematic landscape, End of the World combines steep walls, rocky slopes, and coral-covered ridges. This is a place for big water and big sightings — and it’s a favorite among veteran divers and liveaboard guests seeking the full force of Komodo’s southern frontier.
