Easy central-Komodo slope for training, macro life, and night dives.
Bidadari is a close-to-Labuan Bajo reef and sand slope used for easy daytime dives, checkouts, and relaxed night sessions. The site is better known for macro life, sandy-bottom critters, and juvenile turtles than for big current, making it a practical option when divers want sheltered central-Komodo diving.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
3m - 17m
Depth Note
Public dive guides describe Bidadari as a shallow sloping site, with routine dive profiles around 3-17 m and much of the macro interest on the sandy bottom.
Best Season
Year-round, with clearer central-Komodo water more common from March to September and more variable sub-20 m visibility from October to February.
Typical Conditions
A gentle reef-and-sand slope with mild current, modest visibility, and calmer diving than many exposed Komodo drift sites.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Bidadari is usually treated as a calm site, but standard boat-diving controls still matter because visibility can be modest and night dives add extra task loading.
Legal Notes
Bidadari sits inside Komodo National Park, where tourism follows park zoning and permit rules. Divers should expect normal park entry-fee and operator procedures.

Scuba Diving
Beginner friendly with a gentle sloping profile; used for training dives and night dives.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is less of a headline activity here than scuba training and night diving, so trip support depends on the operator rather than the site itself.
