The Komodo Strait
Located between Flores and Sumbawa islands, the Komodo Strait is a different Indonesia, where the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean mix with the cold ones of the South Indian Ocean. The string of islands which splash the Komodo Strait look like two worlds: one of them warm with transparent waters in the North, and the other with colder and greenish water, but plenty of unique animals, in the South. Underwater, the small islands of the north side have walls full of soft corals, schools of jacks and many small fish surrounding the hard corals of the shallow waters, where is not unusual to see white tip sharks. On the other side, close to Komodo Island, we can found manta rays, turtles, cuttlefish and the reef is fully covered with all kind of invertebrates: corals, sea fans, ascidians and sea cucumbers (including the beautiful sea apple). On these islands also lives the biggest lizard of the world, the Komodo dragon (more than 3m long and 70kg), a protected reptile only knows in the islands of Komodo, Rinca and some locations of West Flores.
