Little Komodo

Little Komodo is a reef dive site in Triton Bay, Indonesia, named by pioneering diver Gerry Allan because it reminded him of his early dives in Komodo in the 1970s. The site is characterised by vibrant soft coral gardens and striking black coral growth, the latter found at as shallow as 5 m, alongside a colourful reef structure that lends itself to both wide-angle and macro photography.

The reef reaches a maximum depth of 12 m and is noted for its energetic currents, which drive strong fish action throughout the site. Schools of fish, groupers of impressive size, and schools of barracuda can be expected on most dives, while the soft and black coral growth is described as overwhelming.

Conditions at Little Komodo include strong currents and poor visibility, and the site is rated intermediate in difficulty. Divers should be comfortable managing current before attempting it. The site is considered an absolute highlight for underwater photographers and filmmakers.
