Cannibal Rock
Southern Komodo seamount rich in macro and reef life.
Boat-accessed Horseshoe Bay site in south Komodo; best for macro, coral, and schooling fish, with trip timing shaped by tides and liveaboard logistics.
About Cannibal Rock
Small seamount in the south of Komodo National Park, usually dived from liveaboard or long day-boat itineraries through Horseshoe Bay. Cannibal Rock is known for dense macro life, sponge-covered slopes, and big-and-small reef action, so planning should focus on boat timing, tide windows, and an advanced-but-flexible profile.
