Use a Komodo guide to time the slack window and pick the right line.
Tatawa Kecil is a central Komodo drift dive with steep coral gardens, boulders, and swim-throughs that reward good current timing. Mantas, reef sharks, turtles, trevallies, and other big-fish traffic are common draw cards, while smaller reef life fills the coral in between. It is a boat dive for experienced divers, best planned on slack or mild current windows rather than as a casual reef run.
