Boulders
# Boulders – Nuso Kode, Rinca
Dive Conditions
Boulders is a distinctive dive site located off Nuso Kode near Rinca Island in Indonesia’s Komodo region. This site features dramatic underwater rock formations and large boulders scattered across the seafloor, creating an intriguing labyrinth for exploration.
Divers descend through depths ranging from 12 to 30 meters, navigating between massive boulders that form natural swim-throughs and crevices. The site suits intermediate to advanced divers due to strong currents common in the Sumba Strait, which can challenge less experienced swimmers.
Marine life thrives among the rocks, including schools of fusiliers, snappers, and groupers. Divers frequently encounter reef sharks, trevally, and occasional rays. Smaller creatures like nudibranchs and crustaceans inhabit crevices, while vibrant soft and hard corals coat the boulder surfaces.
Visibility typically ranges from 15-30 meters, depending on tidal conditions. The dramatic geological formations combined with rich biodiversity make Boulders a rewarding dive in the renowned Komodo dive region.
