Diving in Komodo is among the best in the world thanks to the currents that carry nutrients between the Indian and Pacific oceans. The result: pristine reefs, huge schools of fish and frequent encounters with mantas and sharks.
How the day works
- Early departure on a dive boat from Labuan Bajo.
- Three guided dives at sites such as Batu Bolong, Karang Makassar (Manta Point), Siaba Besar or Tatawa, chosen by level and tides.
- Breakfast, lunch and snacks on board during surface intervals.
- Back in the late afternoon.
Who it is for
For divers certified Open Water or higher. Some strong-current dives require Advanced level and recent experience. Groups are small, around 4 divers per guide.
What to bring
Certification card, logbook, sunscreen, a sweater for the boat and a dry bag. Gear can be rented. Dive insurance is recommended.
Best time
Diving runs almost year-round; April to November brings good visibility in the north of the park and December to March is manta season in the south. Park fees are not included.
Every trip carries oxygen and a first-aid kit on board, and the guide gives a detailed briefing before each dive.
Included
