Departure in Labuan Bajo & Check Dive

Dive Sites visited during the trip (may be amended due to trip duration and conditions during the time of trip):

• Saneang volcano: Black sand “Lembeh style” Macro, Volcanic underwater activities (bubble reef), high contrast coral gardens, visiting a traditional boat building village, Sunset/Sunrise trekking. Wild and rare birds of prey watching. THE place for UW photography!
• Gili Banta: Iconic private and endless white sand beaches, Sunset viewpoints, multiple dive sites with Manta Rays and sharks, and the most colourful coral reefs in the region. Also great for beach BBQ and leisure time.
• Sape channel: High-energy diving with big fish encounters. In most dive sites located between Sumbawa and Komodo, the currents will be present and shape the dives and routes. Sharks, Tunas, GTs and more. The place to encounter big pelagics. In the past, we saw even blue whales migrating here. Bonus object: The secret “Canyon/cave” dive site!
• Pulau Kelapa aka Coconut Island: Postcard diving throughout. Crystal clear water, stunning reef topography, overhangs, walls, and ledges. Also hosts the location of beautiful sunrise hikes and offers great viewpoints for photography sessions. “Seagull Rock” is one of the best dive sites in Indonesia!
• West Komodo Coastline: Wild! Very Wild! … Rugged and worn-out landscapes above and below the water. The Galapagos of Asia. Here we will show you the most epic wall dives and pinnacles, paired with the opportunity to encounter wild Komodo dragons roaming the beaches. The exact location will be kept secret.
• South Komodo: This region we call “The end of the World”, next stop heading further south would be Australia. South Komodo Island is magical as you never know what you get. Every big marine animal/fish migrating from Australia into Northern Asia will at some point pass this channel. Usually, the colder waters are home to Mantas, Mola Molas and other large and odd ocean inhabitants.
• Nusa Kode aka Horseshoe Bay: Nusa Kode has always been restricted to the very few and most adventurous boats exploring Komodo. A bit off the grid, this little bay is very much underrated. It has one of the best macro sites in Komodo and also offers great wall diving. You might have heard about “Cannibal Rock” and “Torpedo Point”.
• Padar Island and Central Komodo: This has become overly famous in the past years. If you google KOMODO a good chance is that the 1st few results will show the photogenic landscapes of Padar Island. Also, the diving in the area is great.
• Batu Bolong: Two words… “Batu Bolong”, is the most talked about dive site in Indonesia. For a good reason. Batu Bolog, Siaba and Tatawa will enchant you with a huge diversity of marine life. Corals as far as the eyes behind your mask can see. Turtles and sharks are to be seen on pretty much every single dive!
• North Komodo: Underwater mountains, some currents and big fish encounters. Apart from that, it is the region of “Current City” home to the famous “TripleC” being Castle Rock, Crystal Rock and Cauldron. These offshore seamounts are being roamed by several sharks and other large pelagics.
