Dive-site story
Located north of Labuan Bajo outside the national park boundaries, Pulau Sabolon Kecil features a sloping reef flanked by small drop-offs and scattered coral heads. The reef slope transitions from hard coral formations along the shallows into sandy patches dotted with sea fans and sponges. It often serves as a warm-up dive site on day trips heading into the greater Flores region.
Extensive hard coral gardens covering the shallow reef slope
Overhangs along the small wall sections sheltering macro critters and moray eels
Occasional encounters with passing reef sharks and schools of fusiliers
