CAULDRON
Indonesië
Cauldron is the passage in the northern part of Komodo between the islands of Gili Lawalaut and Gili Lawadarat. The dive site is known for its legendary drift dives. It's a dive at high speed. Diving here is like flying over the reef along the corals, colorful sponges and sea fans. While you are struggling to keep your balance, the sweetlips, snappers, groupers and sharks seem barely aware of the current. Cauldron is a dive site for experienced divers who know how to deal with currents.
Particulars
Cauldron is a boat dive site. Enter the water from the boat and let yourself be pulled along the reef at high speed. Keep your balance and look around what nature has to offer you.
Warnings
Cauldron requires sufficient diving experience and a good condition. Once in the water you can't just abort your dive. Sometimes divers have to swim against the current without being able to hold on to anything.
