Tatawa Besar is another of the best drift dives in Komodo and offers one of the most amazing coral gardens in the area. Between 8 to 20 meters, depth lies the majestic and phenomenal marine life. The orange hues of soft and hard corals covered the area with oriental sweetlips, cuttlefish, white and black tip reef sharks, reef fish, parrot fishes, napoleon wrasses, batfish, barracudas, eagle rays, giant trevallies, and a large school of fusiliers roaming around.
Reef sharks and hawksbill sea turtles are known to make the Tatawa Besar their home. And if luck is on your side, dolphins can sometimes make an appearance.
