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.
