Komodo National Park Dive Sites

8.4300°S, 119.6130°E
Loh Namu is a sheltered bay on the eastern edge of Komodo Island, offering a calm and scenic dive site ideal for all experience levels. With its sloping reef, vibrant coral growth, and minimal current, it’s often used as a first-day check dive or a relaxing finale to a multi-day liveaboard.
But Loh Namu is more than a training site — it’s full of macro life, healthy hard and soft corals, and the occasional larger surprise in the blue. Because it’s less frequently dived than better-known sites, marine life here is abundant and undisturbed.
