Certification & difficulty

Open Water

Snorkelling

Not a snorkel site - No - muck/critter diving is scuba-only, slow bottom-time activity

Safety notes

Black sand can reduce visibility with poor fin technique (buoyancy discipline required to protect fragile critter habitat), night-diving disorientation risk on featureless sand slope, cold-water thermocline patches

Permits & fees

Same Komodo National Park fee structure (entrance + conservation + harbour + diving surcharge, ~IDR 300,000-375,000/day)

Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
