Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the western end of Flores, and the best way to cover it is to live on the water. This private scuba charter runs 5 nights out of Labuan Bajo through north and central Komodo, with your group of up to eight taking the whole boat. Diving is capped at four divers per dive and two dives a day, and the rest of the program fills with dragon treks on Rinca and Komodo islands, hilltop walks on Padar and swims off pink-sand beaches.
Dive days here follow the water, not a timetable. Currents push nutrients through narrow channels, so one dive can be a slow drift over coral slopes with turtles grazing below and the next a hover in open blue water, watching for what swims in. With only four divers in the group and no more than two dives a day, there is time to look closely and stay where it is good. Evenings end at anchor in a still bay, with the boat quiet and the night sky overhead.
Trip Highlights & Key Regional Features
- Manta rays and sea turtles around Gili Lawa and Karang Makasar, two of the park's best-known manta reefs
- Reef sharks, schooling fish and coral slopes in water of 26 to 29°C, with visibility often beyond 25 m
