Komodo: Three Sisters Dive Site – Komodo National Park

Site Overview

Three Sisters is a trio of coral-covered pinnacles in central Komodo National Park, offering one of the most varied and engaging intermediate dive experiences in the region. Named for three rock formations rising from the seafloor in close proximity, each sister has its own unique character. The largest pinnacle rises from 28 meters to within 4 meters of the surface, encrusted in vibrant soft corals and gorgonian fans that sway in the moderate current. The second sister features a dramatic wall with overhangs and swim-throughs at 15 to 20 meters, providing exploration opportunities and habitat for lobster and moray eels. The third is a smaller bommie surrounded by sand channels that attract blue-spotted stingrays, garden eels, and occasional white sand rays. The current flows between the pinnacles, creating a gentle drift that carries divers naturally from one formation to the next. Whitetip reef sharks rest on the ledges of each pinnacle, schools of fusiliers and anthias cloud the mid-water, and Napoleon wrasse cruise curiously between the formations. Hawksbill turtles are regular visitors, often seen feeding on the reef flats. The pinnacle summits at 4 to 10 meters are covered in colorful soft corals, sea fans, and anemones. Three Sisters is best dived from April through December when visibility reaches 20 to 30 meters. It is typically combined with the Gililawa sites on central Komodo day trips from Labuan Bajo.
