Dive-site story
Positioned just outside the central currents of Komodo National Park, Sebayur Kecil features a protected reef slope that transitions into a sprawling sandy bottom punctuated by scattered coral bommies. Boats frequently use this sheltered bay for introductory or check dives before heading to high-energy central sites, though its rich macro fauna also makes it a favored twilight and night diving location. Divers can drift gently along the patch reef while scanning the sand for cryptic bottom-dwellers and checking the reef crest for hard coral coverage.
Extensive sandy patches inhabited by colonies of garden eels and resting stingrays
Vibrant coral bommies providing shelter for juvenile reef fish and macro critters
Calm, protected conditions making it well-suited for relaxed macro photography and night excursions
