Langkoi Rock is a seamount in Komodo National Park featuring a pinnacle structure and sheer drop-offs reaching depths of 45 metres. This site is strictly for advanced divers due to strong, unpredictable currents and surge. Access is by boat only, and divers must coordinate closely with their crew to manage descents and ascents. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres, with water temperatures between 26 and 28C, though cooler upwellings occur. Divers should monitor air and bottom time carefully given the depth. The site requires the ability to manage current-driven conditions and maintain controlled movement throughout the dive.
