About this site

Sebayur Kecil is a small island within Komodo National Park in West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, sitting in the waters between Flores and Komodo Island. Dive sites around the island are typically reached by boat from Labuan Bajo, the main gateway town on Flores. The reef here reaches a maximum depth of around 25 metres, with light current and good visibility, making it a beginner-friendly dive. Bumphead parrotfish, clownfish, fusiliers, nudibranchs, and octopus are regularly seen on the reef, and divers have also reported barracuda, eagle rays, garden eels, lionfish, mandarinfish, mantis shrimp, reef sharks, snapper, sweetlips, surgeonfish, frogfish, leaf scorpionfish, and even the occasional dugong.
