An advanced Komodo pinnacle with liveaboard access, strong currents, and big-fish action around three rocky pinnacles.
About Batu Tiga
Batu Tiga is a central Komodo pinnacle site in Linta Strait between the Komodo and Padar side of the park, reached by boat and normally dived as an advanced liveaboard stop. The reef is steep and current-swept, with three rocks, deeper boulders to the west, and swim-through style terrain that draws manta rays, giant trevally, barracuda, groupers, snappers, sweetlips, and other pelagics. Timing matters here: the site is best at the right tide window and is not a casual reef dive.
