Batu Tiga

# Batu Tiga Dive Site Description

Batu Tiga, located in Komodo’s pristine waters of the Flores Sea, offers an exceptional diving experience for intermediate to advanced divers. This site features three distinctive rock formations rising from depths between 5-40 meters, creating dramatic underwater landscapes with steep walls and crevices.

Divers encounter vibrant coral gardens populated by colorful reef fish, including snappers, fusiliers, and schooling barracuda. The site is renowned for encounters with larger pelagic species such as reef sharks and rays, particularly during strong currents that bring nutrient-rich waters. Macro enthusiasts will appreciate abundant nudibranchs, crustaceans, and small reef inhabitants nestled among coral formations.

The variable current can be challenging, making this dive suitable for experienced divers comfortable with drift diving techniques. Optimal visibility ranges from 10-25 meters depending on seasonal conditions. Batu Tiga exemplifies Komodo’s reputation as a world-class diving destination, combining geological interest with exceptional marine biodiversity in the heart of Indonesia’s eastern waters.
