Castle Rock
Overview
Castle Rock is a submerged pinnacle in northern Komodo that delivers some of Indonesia's most adrenaline-fueled diving. Powerful currents sweep the rock, creating a feeding frenzy — hundreds of giant trevally form spinning tornadoes, grey reef sharks patrol the edges, and schools of barracuda hang in the blue. The pinnacle top at 4 meters provides a front-row seat to the action.
