Entry / access
boat

The rock breaks the surface and falls steeply away, with a natural hole through it that gives the site its name. Divers stay on the sheltered side, zigzag down the face and peek carefully around the corners where currents split and can pull down. Most of the dive is spent between about 5 and 25 m. Komodo park fees apply (park entry, conservation fee and a daily diving surcharge), and a daily visitor cap started in 2026.
