# Gebah Dive Site

Gebah is a premier dive destination located in the Sape Strait near Komodo, West Manggarai Regency, in Indonesia’s East Nusa Tenggara province. This site features dramatic underwater topography with steep walls and rocky outcroppings that descend to depths of 40 meters (130 feet), making it suitable for intermediate to advanced divers.

The site is renowned for exceptional marine biodiversity characteristic of the Flores Sea. Divers encounter vibrant coral gardens, schools of trevally and fusiliers, reef sharks, and various pelagic species. The nutrient-rich waters support abundant macro life, including nudibranchs, crustaceans, and small reef fish.

Strong currents are common at Gebah, providing excellent drift diving opportunities but requiring solid buoyancy control and experience. Visibility typically ranges from 15-30 meters depending on tidal conditions and season. The combination of challenging conditions, diverse marine life, and stunning geological formations makes Gebah an outstanding choice for experienced divers seeking adventure in Indonesia’s renowned Komodo diving region.
