Siaba Besar

Siaba Besar is the exhale between Komodo's adrenaline dives, a becalmed bay where green turtles gather in such numbers that guides call it Turtle City. They graze the seagrass, nap on sponges, and surface unbothered beside divers of any experience level. The sand between bommies pays attention-tax to those who look: cuttlefish hovering mid-hunt, blue-spotted rays, garden eels, frogfish on occasion, and mushroom-coral pipefish for sharp-eyed guides. Because it is protected from the main tidal stream, the site handles training dives, check dives, and long relaxed profiles, and it moonlights as one of the area's better night dives. It proves Komodo has a gentle register too.

वह पल जिसके लिए आप आते हैं: Green turtles in bulk; relaxed shallow profiles; surprisingly good macro in the sand.

टोपोग्राफी: Sheltered sandy bay with seagrass patches, coral bommies, and a sloping reef edge.

करंट: The bay is sheltered from the strait's main flow; drifts are gentle when present.

खतरे: Little beyond boat traffic at the surface and the usual shallow-water sun exposure on long dives.
