Sebayur
Sebayur is the easiest introduction to Komodo diving and the closest park site to Labuan Bajo. A gentle slope with coral blocks at 15–17 m hosts cleaner shrimps, leaf scorpionfish, anemones with porcelain crabs, jawfish and cuttlefish laying eggs in the staghorn corals; ornate ghost pipefish are also seen. Further along a ridge with a small wall brings more current, schools of redtooth triggerfish, fusiliers, hunting jacks and visiting bumphead parrotfish.
