Cannibal Rock

Rinca Island · Indonesia

A submerged rock formation off the southern tip of Rinca that consistently ranks among the best macro dives in Komodo National Park. The rock is smothered in colourful tunicates, sea apples, and crinoids, with ornate ghost pipefish, pygmy seahorses, and Coleman shrimp tucked into every crevice. Schools of sweetlips and bannerfish circle the shallows.
