Beneath Komodo

Guests must hold a recognized scuba diving certification. Advanced Open Water certification or equivalent experience is strongly recommended for current-influenced sites such as Castle Rock, Crystal Rock, and Batu Bolong. Final site access depends on individual diving experience and the dive operator’s assessment.

The number of dives depends on the selected vessel, weather, currents, and daily route. A typical program may offer approximately 12–15 dives, with the final dive scheduled to allow an appropriate no-fly interval before departure. The confirmed number will be specified in the operator’s package.

Komodo offers diving opportunities throughout much of the year, with seasonal differences in visibility, water temperature, currents, and marine activity. The best period depends on the preferred dive sites and marine encounters. The itinerary is adjusted to prevailing conditions.

No. Manta rays, reef sharks, and other marine animals are wild, so encounters cannot be guaranteed. Experienced dive guides select suitable locations based on conditions and recent marine activity to provide opportunities for sightings.

For multiple dives over several days, Divers Alert Network recommends a minimum of 18 hours before flying after no-decompression diving. Longer intervals offer additional safety, and the operator may require 24 hours or more depending on the dive profiles. Guests should follow their dive computer and dive professional’s guidance.
