Tourism is now a major business in the Komodo National Park. Divers visit the park using liveaboard boats operating out of Bali, or from the port of Labuan Bajo on Lombok. The Komodo National Park is home to the unique Komodo Dragon, but also has some remarkable marine life. Cold upwellings from the Indian Ocean to the south bring plenty of nutrients, providing food for a spectacular array of different species.
