Komodo Scuba Diving Sites

Gili Lawa

Gili Lawa Laut, north Komodo

This pinnacle just breaks the surface off the northern side of the two small islets to the north of Komodo main island.

It is another excellent dive site and very similar topographically to the famous GPS Point.

The reef is packed with bronze and rust coloured sponges and soft tree corals. You'll see black snappers, large cuttlefish, pyramid butterflyfish, and several red octopus.

Strong currents normally prevent dives on Gili Lawa and the correct conditions must exist before undertaking any dive here. One of the delights of diving in Indonesia is that the area is so large and the dive sites so numerous that it is possible to come across fantastic sites which are still relatively unchartered.
