Discover the spectacular Three Sisters dive site near Padar in Komodo, Indonesia. This premier Flores Sea destination features three distinctive underwater pinnacles rising dramatically from the seafloor, creating an exceptional diving experience for intermediate to advanced divers.

Divers explore depths ranging from 8 to 40 meters, navigating around the rocky formations where vibrant coral gardens thrive. Expect encounters with abundant marine life including reef sharks, trevally, snappers, and schools of barracuda. Manta rays frequently glide through the channels during certain seasons, while nudibranchs and macro subjects reward keen observers.

The site’s strong currents and variable conditions require solid diving skills and experience with drift diving. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 25 meters, depending on seasonal conditions. The unique topography creates exciting swim-throughs and excellent photo opportunities.

Located in West Manggarai Regency within the Komodo National Park, Three Sisters offers an unforgettable adventure in one of Indonesia’s most biodiverse marine ecosystems. Best visited during dry season months for optimal conditions.
