About this site
Pengah Kecil is a submerged pinnacle in Komodo National Park that rises from 30 metres to 5 metres, giving drift conditions. Following a counter-clockwise route works well.
The pinnacle's steep walls carry over 35 coral species. Cleaning stations at 18 metres hold whitetip reef sharks that hover motionless, and sand channels hide camouflaged stingrays. By day reef sharks and trevallies are the main sightings, with visibility of 15 to 25 metres and moderate to strong current. At night octopuses and glowing comb jellies come out, visibility drops to 8 to 12 metres and the current is mild to moderate.
