We make sure you get the most out of your trip by planning a maximum amount of diving. We have tailormade a schedule that covers all of the dive highlights of Komodo from drift diving with mantas and sharks to finding the most amazing critters on the muck dives.
You will have the convenience of waking up in the park and the advantage of being one of the first on the dive site. A liveaboard gives you the flexibility to enter the dive sites on the right tide and have long relaxing surfaces intervals.
To provide maximum safety and fun we dive in small groups: max. 4 divers per guide according to experience level and conditions. All guides dive with a Nautilus Lifeline: a submersible Radio & GPS that can contact the boat from the surface at anytime, anywhere. Our experienced guides meticulously plan out the dives so we can for example have the tides in our favor to increase the chance of seeing mantas.
We highly recommend divers to arrive one day before check-in in Labuan Bajo, and stay one more night in Labuan Bajo after the check-out!! (In order to NOT miss any dives according to your flight schedule.)
