Info about the area Komodo National Park is an exciting, rewarding, and sometimes very challenging place to dive. From Bali and almost 1,000 miles east to Alor, there is a chain of islands that were formed by undersea volcanoes, which over millions of years created a natural land barrier that divides the cooler Indian Ocean on the southern coasts from the warmer Banda Sea on the Northern coasts. Huge schools of plankton feeders like Anthias, Fusiliers, and Surgeonfish are patrolled by larger hunters like Jacks, Mackerels, Tunas, and Sharks. Of course Mantas can be found here in large numbers too, playing, being cleaned, or feeding on the surface in many places. The reefs in the North of the park tend to have more varieties and larger numbers of hard corals and sponges than in the South, where you will find more colorful varieties of soft and branching corals. The South tends to be cooler during the dry season, between May and October, with better visibility in the north. While in the opposite season, January to March, the northern areas get cooler with lower visibility and the south warms up with good visibility. Because Komodo sits in an arid micro-climate region compared to the surrounding islands, rainfall here is much less than other areas in the tropics. Therefore, Komodo can make a great diving destination year round.
