Komodo Scuba Diving Sites

Red Beach

Pantai Merah Beach, Komodo Island

Red Beach is located just in front of the old dragon feeding station in east Komodo, directly across the bay from Komodo Village.

Snorkelling here is excellent over a healthy shallow reef. Diving is at the reef edge where the bottom drops down to 25 metres.

Thousands of fish of every colour and shape are here including regal angelfish, checkerboard wrasse and masked unicornfish, against a beautiful backdrop of acripora corals, gorgonian fans and sponges.

Mantis shrimps are always in attendance with their housekeeping as they remove rock from their burrows. Their darting bulbous eyes are thought to be the most complex in nature, and they can strike prey with a crustacean karate chop from its claw, hard enough to crack a pane of glass.
