Dive-site story
Located just off the coast of Labuan Bajo, Bidadari features a gentle coral slope descending into a sandy floor dotted with hard and soft coral bommies. Because the island's position provides natural shelter from the fierce tidal currents characteristic of the main Komodo Strait, dive centers frequently use it for refresher outings, training courses, and muck-oriented night dives. Divers can explore patches of staghorn coral and sea anemones that harbor diverse macro species.
