Komodo National Park consists of three main islands Komodo, Padar, and Rinca, as well as many smaller ones, making 80 in total, located between the large islands of Sumbawa and Flores, right in the middle of a forced passage of the currents and tides that unite the Pacific and Indian oceans. And if you're a scuba diver, you've probably got it all figured out: yes, Komodo dives are legendary! Komodo's unpredictable and strong currents attract monstrous amounts of fish.
