Komodo

Land-based diving Komodo Alor in Indonesia offers a huge diversity of marine life and dive sites and is a couple of the world's most talked about diving destinations. Komodo national park has many small islands scattered over a large area. You can only imagine the wealth that lies beneath the surface of the sea here. As Komodo is both a land and marine national park, it is not allowed to live here. There are thus no resorts in the park area itself. However, there are opportunities to live nearby and thereby be able to enjoy the fantastic marine life if you don't want to go on one live board. Between Bali and Komodo, you will find a fantastic little diving paradise, Sumbawa Island, which lies west of Komodo Island. A real little gem that has not yet been discovered by so many diving travelers.

Sumbawa

The island is quite remote, and there is limited transport here. For this reason, we need to plan your trip in such a way that you don't risk missing your transfer to the island and the fantastic reefs that are here in the immediate area. You can also get to Komodo from here with day trips but it is quite far so expect full day trips.

There is also the possibility of living east of Komodo in Labuan Bajo on the island of Flores. You can also enjoy good diving here, but then almost all diving takes place inside the national park. No matter which variant you choose, you will have a fantastic experience as Komodo today has some of the world's finest coral reefs and a very rich marine life.

diving around Komodo

Komodo is a destination of incredible biodiversity. Here you can expect to encounter pelagic species such as manta rays, eagle rays, sharks, tuna and whales. There are also plenty of macro species to watch, such as different types of seahorses, ghost pipe fish, frogfish, nudibranchs and blue-ringed octopus to name a few. In Komodo's waters, nutrient-rich temperate ocean currents contribute to an amazing biodiversity. You will dive on iridescent shallow reefs and on steep walls patrolled by fish from the top of the food chain.

Komodo is a truly unique area located in Nusa Tenggara province. The area offers a wide range of incredible current diving, unspoiled coral reefs with soft and hard corals, as well as fascinating little creatures that have the ability to camouflage themselves to blend in with their surroundings.

Komodo has been classified as a World Heritage Site and a “UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve”, which becomes obvious once you are there. The dive sites here are incredibly addictive!

Here at Komodo, you can also meet the awe-inspiring Komodo Dragon. It is not for nothing that Komodo is also called the "kingdom of dragons". The Komodo dragon can be over 3 meters long and weigh as much as a fully grown man. This is an encounter that gives at least as much tingle in the stomach as meeting a bull shark under the surface!
