Night dive here too or head on over to Gili Banta for the chance for Star Gazers and coral cat shark.	4

Then we enter the Komodo National Park and for more exhilarating blue water/fish soup diving! Gili Lawalaut has several great dives - if the tide is right we hunt grey reef shark and dolphin at Taka Toko Gili Lawalaut. Lighthouse Reef and The Old Passage offer fast drifts with pelagics, maybe manta! Crystal Rock offers awesome soft corals in gold and orange hues plus the chance for sharks, turtles, giant Maori wrasse, a ‘fish soup” dive.

Next stop is a diver's paradise - Horseshoe Bay Rinja Island - home of one of the top 10 dives in the world - Cannibal Rock - an abundance of corals, sponges, ascidians, sea apples, black corals, turtle, cuttlefish, loads of reef fishes too !
