Known locally as 'Turtle City' for the incredible number of green and hawksbill turtles that congregate here. The gentle slope is covered in healthy coral gardens where turtles graze undisturbed. It's not uncommon to count 20+ turtles on a single dive, making it one of Komodo's most magical sites.

Absolutely stunning dive site. The visibility was exceptional and we spotted several species we had never seen before. Will definitely come back.
Great spot for advanced divers. Currents can be tricky but the marine life makes it worth it.
One of the best dive sites in the region. Highly recommended.
