These photos taken during our last day dive. After completed our second dive, we were heading to Rinca Island. It's about an hour away by from Labuan Bajo by our diving boat. The island, is also known as Rincah or Rindja, is a small island near Komodo island in East Nusa Tenggara. The island's area is about 198 square kilometers or 76 sq mi. Being less known and less visited than Komodo, this island is an excellent place to see the Komodo dragon in its natural environment with fewer people to disturb them.
Komodo dragon, one of the oldest living lizard and direct ancestors of the Komodo lived 50 millions years ago. She runs up to 18m/h, swim up to 500m, and she can detect scents up to 5km away. Carnivorous and strictly eat meat in any form! She lives with about 60 types bacteria in her saliva and cause septicemia!
She is cool. She is calm. She is dangerous!
