Night dive here too or head on over to Gili Banta for the chance for Star Gazers and coral cat shark.
Day 4:	Current depending, we start the day at GPS Point Gili Banta famous for its sharks and pelagic fishes. Then we enter the Komodo National Park and for more exhilarating blue water/fish soup diving !
