Great Scuba Diving In Flores
Komodo Fish
Flores (FLOHR-rehs) is one of the Lesser Sunda Islands. It is located east of Komodo, south of Sulawesi. This island is home to hundreds of different ethnic groups who speak scores of languages. It seems to be a transition point between the Malay and Papuan races. The west coast of Flores is one of the few places, aside from the island of Komodo itself, where the Komodo dragon is found in the wild.
The island is known for its mountainous terrain, but Flores also has good snorkeling and diving locations along the west and north coasts, especially near Komodo National Park and on the northern coast near Maumere and Riung. Scuba diving within the park is excellent.
