Green turtles are often seen feeding on the walls and lobster and octopi are frequently seen. Experience the other stunning sites of Nusa Kode such as Cannibal Rock, known for large schools and vibrant colors, Rhino Rock, a top-notch muck dive site, and Torpedo Alley, a night dive with a chance to see torpedo rays.

Day 10
Enjoy your last day exploring Komodo at Sebayur, a great place for a relaxing dive where you can view a large variety of corals and marine life setting with very little current. Facing the beach, along the right side is a series of spurs that all have amazing coral formations. Look out the sea and you may spot the random pelagic making its way across the ocean. The crew will assist you in rinsing dive gear and retrieving your luggage for packing. The cruise managers will assist you with your final billing. Sunset cocktails and a BBQ dinner with all the hallmarks of Scubaspa ZEN Indonesia service will conclude your last evening with us. The vessel will return to Labuan Bajo that night.
