 There are snorkelling and diving locations along the north coast of Flores, most notably Maumere and Riung.However, due to the destructive practice of local fishermen using bombs to fish, and locals selling shells to tourists, combined with the after effects of a devastating tsunami in 1992, the reefs have slowly been destroyed.Labuan Bajo, located on the western tip is often used by tourists as a base to visit Komodo and Rinca islands.
