Stretching out southwards from the Letuhoh peninsular on the west coast of Komodo Island is the Letuhoh Reef.
Large pinnacles are covered with hard corals including staghorn coral, plate coral, star coral and fire coral. The reef and large boulders is home to an abundance of reef fish including sweetlips, butterflyfish, cornet fish and lionfish. Schools of snapper and fusilier swarm over the reef. 
White tip reef sharks and grey reefs can be seen as can eagle rays. Giant trevally and dog tooth tuna can be seen in the blue. Napoleon wrasse are occasionally seen.
Maximum depth is 35m. Visibility ranges from 10-30m. Currents can be strong.
Further offshore is Nisaleme Island, an exposed site subject to strong currents that can push divers down.This deep drop off is another good site for pelagics including tuna, barracuda, trevally and rainbow runners.
There are several other dive sites off the northwest coast of Komodo Island that are occasionally dived on liveaboard safaris. They include Batu Saloka, Tukoh Serikaya, Lohwenci, Toroletuhoh. Healthy coral coverage at these sites are home to some impressive fish life especially macro critters. Divers will be able to find nudibranches that they've never seen else where as well as frogfish, seahorse, leaf scorpionfish and ribbon eels. |
