Advanced Komodo drift wall with sharks, mantas, and current.
Lighthouse Komodo is an advanced north-Komodo drift dive on a sloping reef and wall with two pinnacles, caves, overhangs, and cleaning spots. When the current is working, the site turns into a fast-moving reef run with sharks, turtles, moray eels, and manta passes; when it eases, it becomes a cleaner, slower wall dive with a lot to look at.
