About this site
Boulders is a rocky macro dive site at Nusa Kode in South Komodo, Indonesia, reached by liveaboard or a longer boat trip from Labuan Bajo. It is dived to around 35 metres, and the currents here are strong and unpredictable, so the dive is made at slack tide only.
Water temperatures run from 22 to 26°C. Between September and January divers and macro photographers come for the seasonal manta aggregations, and the rocks also hold Coleman shrimp, fire urchins and nudibranchs, with mobula rays reported as well.
