Lighthouse in Komodo National Park offers a dynamic combination of reef, wall, and drift diving. The topography features a wall dropping into deeper water, allowing divers to explore the shallower reef at 10 metres or descend to 30 metres. Visibility is consistent, ranging from 20 to 30 metres. This site is strictly for intermediate divers due to strong, variable currents that necessitate solid buoyancy control. Boat access is required for all dives. Hazards include sharp coral and rock edges, as well as the presence of sharks. Divers should monitor their position continuously and coordinate drift direction with the boat crew to ensure a safe exit.

Time your dive around the tidal flow rather than the clock; a well-timed drift here is effortless, but fighting the current wastes air and energy fast. Brief with your boat crew before entry so they know your planned drift direction and can follow your bubbles.
Located in the northern part of Komodo National Park. Divers jump into the water a few hundred meters before the cap and drift along the slope.
