Little Komodo is built around huge boulders on Saruenus Island, with soft coral and clouds of anthias, damsels and fusiliers covering the structure. Deeper black-coral bushes can hold sweetlips and snapper, while hunting jacks and wobbegong sharks are possible.

The site can become energetic when current runs, so the guide uses the rock for shelter and chooses the direction carefully. Macro subjects such as pygmy seahorses remain available even on a dive that is visually dominated by wide-angle scenery. The coordinate comes from a published scientific survey of the Saruenus northeast face identified as Little Komodo.

Aquarium is a compact Saruenus site known for soft-coral bommies and dense schooling fish. Triton Bay Divers recommends it especially in calm morning water, when the surface can become glassy enough for reflection photography.

A gentle drift can connect the soft-coral wall into the main Aquarium section, but the exact route depends on current. The site is not about depth; the richest colour and fish action are normally in the upper recreational range. The map uses the same surveyed Saruenus northeast-face coordinate because no separate public Aquarium mooring is published.

Pintu Arus is the high-energy western-side dive on Saruenus Island. Tiered reef structure is carpeted in soft coral while fusiliers and anthias work the current, and giant grouper may patrol the site.

The defining feature is water movement: eddies can make timing critical, so this is not a site to force when the tide window is wrong. Divers should stay close to the reef and the guide rather than trying to outswim the flow. The map uses a Saruenus-area anchor because the precise drop changes with current and is not published as a fixed GPS point.

Bo’s Rainbow is one of Triton Bay’s easiest signature dives: a shallow rocky island wrapped in soft coral and schooling fish. The bottom reaches only about 16 metres on a gentle sandy slope, and in calm water divers may circle the island.

A shallow swim-through adds topography, while flasher wrasse and smaller subjects keep the site useful for macro photographers. If current increases, the group simply remains on the protected side rather than completing the circuit. No exact public site coordinate is available, so the map uses the Aiduma/Triton operator area and is explicitly marked approximate.

White Rock is a gentle shallow slope where the emphasis switches from Triton Bay’s big soft-coral scenery to close macro searching. Soft-coral bushes are particularly productive for candy crabs, while frogfish and occasional wobbegong sharks add larger subjects.

The site bottoms out around 14 metres and can be dived by day or night, giving long bottom time and an easy ascent. Careful buoyancy matters because many targets sit directly on fragile coral growth. The map uses the nearby published Macro Rocks scientific station as the best public area reference, not as a claim of an exact White Rock mooring.

Andy’s Point is a mixed wide-angle and macro site with unusually heavy black-coral growth. Yellowfin barracuda, bumphead parrotfish, anchovy schools, devil rays and wobbegong sharks are all reported possibilities, while pygmy seahorses reward a slower search on the reef.

Visibility is often lower than at more oceanic sites, but fish density and coral structure compensate. Current can become strong, which is why the guide’s route and group discipline matter more than covering distance. With no public mooring GPS, the map uses the Aiduma-area anchor.

Batu Jatuh means 'fallen rocks', and the site is defined by massive boulders that have become the framework for broad hard-coral gardens. A resident-looking school of batfish and hunting jacks bring movement around the rock, while midnight snapper, bumphead parrotfish and Napoleon wrasse are also reported.

Mobula, eagle rays and occasional mantas are bonus encounters rather than the reason to plan the dive. The site rewards wide-angle photography and regular checks into the blue. The map uses an Aiduma-area operator anchor because no reliable site-level public coordinate is available.

Christmas Rock is a small island near the south of Aiduma whose underwater footprint is far more interesting than its size suggests. Black-coral bushes and soft-coral bommies hold snapper and surgeonfish, making the site especially strong for wide-angle work.

There is still enough small life to reward a macro search, but the primary attraction is colour and fish around the rock. Depth need not be extreme; the upper reef carries much of the visual impact. The coordinate is an Aiduma-area reference because the exact small-island mooring is not consistently published.
