Cauldron

Ride the Current Through Komodo’s Most Thrilling Dive Site

Experience the adrenaline and beauty of Cauldron, one of the most iconic and exhilarating dive sites in Komodo National Park. Also known as The Shotgun, Cauldron is famous for its dramatic underwater topography, nutrient-rich currents, and extraordinary marine biodiversity. This world-class site offers an unforgettable adventure for experienced divers seeking the excitement of Komodo’s legendary drift dives.

Located between Gili Lawa Laut and Gili Lawa Darat, Cauldron features a unique underwater channel where currents flow through a natural “cauldron” before carrying divers across vibrant coral reefs in an unforgettable drift. Along the way, you’ll encounter an incredible variety of marine life, including reef sharks, giant trevallies, barracudas, napoleon wrasse, eagle rays, turtles, schools of fusiliers, and countless colorful reef fish.

The reef itself is covered with healthy hard and soft corals, creating a spectacular underwater landscape teeming with life. Every dive offers a different experience, as changing tides attract pelagic species and reveal the dynamic beauty that has made Komodo National Park one of the world’s top diving destinations.
