The Currents

No discussion of diving in Komodo National Park is complete without its currents. While strong currents can be intimidating, they create the spectacular underwater landscapes and attract a stunning variety of marine life.

Drifting with the currents is exhilarating—almost like flying! At Legend Diving Komodo, we welcome divers of all levels and design dive trips to match your experience. Our small, agile boats allow access to multiple dive sites safely and efficiently.

Komodo’s tidal-based currents mean that some sites are best dived on a rising tide, some on a falling tide, and others at slack water. Our experienced guides, with thousands of dives in these waters, know the perfect timing for every site to maximize fun, marine encounters, and safety.

Komodo as a National Park – What It Means for the Marine World

Originally established in 1980 to protect the Komodo dragons, the park initially focused on terrestrial conservation. Marine zoning was introduced in 2001, protecting the waters while allowing sustainable use by local communities.

Komodo National Park is not a “no-take” marine reserve. Four communities live within the park, and artisanal fishing is allowed in certain zones, ensuring local food security while protecting the marine ecosystem. This zoning system maintains healthy reefs and marine life, supporting both conservation and sustainable livelihoods.

Dive Confidently with Expert Guides and Eco-Friendly Practices

No Commercial Fishing

Diving in Komodo National Park benefits from strict protections, including a ban on commercial fishing—no trawlers or large-scale operations are allowed. Designated artisanal zones help maintain a sustainable balance, with fully protected areas thriving and spilling over into permitted zones.

Divers must follow national park rules: no gloves, no reef hooks, and no touching or chasing marine life. These practices protect the reefs and align perfectly with Legend Diving Komodo’s ethos.
