About Tatawa Kecil

A small island south of Tatawa Besar island with fantastic snorkeling when the current is not to fast. With a large and unexperienced group this is only possible around slack tide. Its best to dive the westernside of the island, rocks, caves and beautifulcoral gardens in the shallows Many coral reef fishes, including large groupers, snappers, sweetlips, jacks and sharks. Tatawa Kecil is probably the anthias (small colorful serranide fish) capitol of the world! Manta rays are often seen on the southern side. It is in my opinion One of the prettiest dive sites in Komodo.
