Komodo is a renowned gateway for diving in Indonesia, centered on the eastern islands of Flores and the Komodo National Park area. The city itself is a launching point for day trips and liveaboard departures to world‑famous sites inside the Flores Sea and around Komodo. Divers access a mix of drift walls, pinnacles, and macro sites, with strong marine biodiversity, large reef fish, and the chance of manta rays and occasional sharks depending on season. Local centers provide courses, equipment rental, and guided dives, while the regional airport and boat charters help connect you to the broader dive circuit. Outside of diving, Komodo offers a link to Flores Island culture and rugged shorelines.
