The Komodo Dive Liveaboard, spanning 3 Days and Nights, departing from Bali, offers a multifaceted adventure that showcases the unique biodiversity of Komodo National Park. This UNESCO World Heritage site, nestled between Sumbawa and Flores, boasts a diverse array of marine life and stunning underwater landscapes across its three larger islands: Komodo, Rinca, and Padar, along with numerous smaller ones.
Dive Experience:
Diving enthusiasts will revel in the opportunity to explore pristine corals and encounter a plethora of marine creatures, ranging from majestic mantas, sharks, and turtles to playful dolphins, rare dugongs, and massive pelagic animals. From the tiniest pygmy seahorses to vibrant nudibranchs, shrimp, and intriguing frogfish, the park’s marine diversity is bound to inspire awe.
The underwater topography is equally captivating, with dive sites featuring varied terrains such as gentle slopes, dramatic walls, intricate channels, expansive flat bottoms, towering pinnacles, mysterious overhangs, and enchanting caves adorned with hundreds of species of hard and soft corals.
While Komodo’s reputation for strong currents may appeal to advanced and adventurous divers seeking a challenge, those preferring calm and relaxed dives can opt for exploring beautiful and sheltered reefs. Regardless of preference, Komodo National Park offers an unparalleled diving experience catering to divers of all levels.
