Komodo National Park, west of Flores, offers coral pinnacles, manta-ray habitat and a striking contrast between warmer northern reefs and cooler southern waters. Labuan Bajo is the usual base for day boats and local liveaboards; longer cruises can begin in Bali or finish in Maumere.
The attraction is variety. A reef busy with small fish can be every bit as absorbing as a manta encounter, and the southern bays have plenty for a patient macro photographer. Strong currents are part of the planning, not a challenge to seek out for its own sake.
In this page you will find more detailed information about scuba diving in Komodo Island.

Best Dive Review
A local guide chooses the site and side of the reef around the tide, weather and group. This shortlist describes the character of the diving rather than a guaranteed daily programme.
Central reefs: Batu Bolong, Manta Point and Tatawa
Batu Bolong is a fish-covered pinnacle whose exposed edges require careful current judgement. Manta Point, also called Makassar Reef, is a different scene: reef-manta habitat rather than a promise of sightings. Tatawa Besar brings sloping coral scenery and drift possibilities.
Northern pinnacles: Castle and Crystal Rock
Castle Rock and Crystal Rock draw divers for schooling fish and the shape of the reef. Open-water exposure, depth and current can make them more demanding than a sheltered bay.
Southern reefs and gentler alternatives
Cannibal Rock, south of Rinca, rewards a slower look at sponges, soft corals and small creatures. Siaba Besar offers a sheltered-bay alternative when conditions and the intended profile suit the group. Neither a familiar name nor a calm surface establishes that every dive is suitable for a beginner.

How to dive Komodo Island?
A day boat suits a Labuan Bajo stay with restaurants and land plans in the evenings. A liveaboard reduces the repeated commute and can reach a wider range of sites, but the embarkation port matters: a Bali cruise is a different holiday from a Labuan Bajo loop.
Current dive-price examples
Checked 12 November 2026, per person:
| Operator and outing | Published price | What changes the total |
|---|---|---|
| Manta Dive: three central Komodo dives | IDR 3,250,000 | Equipment, guide, speedboat, meals, water and park fees included; accommodation, computer rental and optional extras separate. |
| Dive Komodo: three guided dives | IDR 2,750,000 | Equipment and lunch included; park fees, accommodation and land transfers extra. Computer rental IDR 50,000/day. |
Manta Dive’s itemised prices and Dive Komodo’s inclusions. A lower headline fare is not necessarily a lower final total; the written quote should identify the park ticket and every mandatory charge.
Three different cruise plans
Numbered regional connections illustrate published itinerary families, not navigation tracks or precise dive entries. The Labuan Bajo example is a six-day loop; the Bali itineraries include longer passages and Saleh Bay outside Komodo National Park.
Labuan Bajo loop
Labuan Bajo → Sebayur Kecil → Padar region → Gili Lawa Darat → Rinca region → Labuan Bajo
Bali–Komodo–Bali via Saleh Bay
Bali → Komodo region → Saleh Bay → Bali
Bali–Komodo–Maumere via Saleh Bay
Bali → Saleh Bay → Komodo region → Maumere
Examples: Moana’s six-day Labuan Bajo loop, Mermaid’s Bali return cruise and Maumere crossing programme. The final direction and intermediate stops depend on the dated sailing.
Komodo liveaboard profiles
These boats illustrate different ports and trip styles. The dated itinerary, cabin and current availability determine the actual choice.

Where to stay?
I usually use this website to book in advance my hotels in Komodo Island as they usually have the lowest rates I find. I like it because it's free to cancel and change the dates.
Best time to dive in Komodo Island
April–November is a useful broad window for central and northern Komodo, with generally drier weather. December–March is wetter, although southern diving can be rewarding when access and sea conditions allow. There is no single “best visibility month” for the whole park.
PADI’s regional overview describes year-round diving and manta encounters. A few days of flexibility allow the operator to follow conditions rather than force a fixed wish list.
Top liveaboards in Komodo Island according to divers reviews
Dive courses
Training is available in Labuan Bajo, with introductory dives and course sites selected separately from exposed advanced sites. Uber Scuba’s Open Water programme is one published option. A useful course quote identifies pool or confined-water work, sea dives, certification, equipment and park fees.
An advanced qualification does not remove the need for a sensible first dive and a discussion of recent experience. For someone returning after a long break, a refresher can make the following days far more enjoyable.
Scuba Diving conditions
Currents can accelerate around pinnacles and through narrow channels, with downcurrents at exposed edges. Recent experience, buoyancy, entries and surface-marker procedures matter alongside the certification card. An operator may change the site, use a sheltered side or cancel a dive.
Northern and central water is generally warmer; southern water can be noticeably cooler and richer in plankton. Exposure protection should suit the actual route and repetitive diving. Visibility can vary between sites on the same trip, and greener water can still hold excellent marine life.
Snorkelling in Komodo Island
A non-diving partner can join selected boats, but a dive-boat passenger place and a supervised snorkelling outing are different products. Dive Komodo publishes snorkelling at IDR 1,300,000 per person and a non-diving boat place at IDR 500,000, with park fees extra. Companion options. Rates checked 12 November 2026.
Before booking, the useful details are a dedicated surface guide, suitable sites, equipment and flotation, pickup arrangements and what happens when currents rule out swimming. Pink Beach and reef-top outings can complement a trip, but a manta location is not automatically appropriate for a novice snorkeller.
Fishes and Coral
Mantas, reef sharks and turtles may draw the attention first, but coral gardens, schooling fish and small camouflaged animals give Komodo its depth. Nudibranchs and crustaceans add to the macro interest. Six fish groups are illustrated below; photographs are representative where stated, and sightings are not guaranteed.
Reef manta rays
Broad wings can appear above cleaning stations or feeding areas; encounters remain wildlife sightings.

Diving Safety
If you are planning an upcoming dive trip or travelling to Komodo Island, it is a really good idea to invest in travel insurance for scuba diving, because you never know what could happen and when you might need it (because accidents do happen!). I recommend this diving insurance as they offer worldwide coverage and focus on providing scuba divers a quality insurance and medical assistance service.
Questions about Komodo
Can a new Open Water diver visit Komodo?
Yes, with an operator offering a suitable programme and conditions. This does not make exposed pinnacles or channels beginner dives.
Do I need a liveaboard?
No. Labuan Bajo day boats serve the park. A cruise offers a different pace and, depending on the route, wider coverage.
Are mantas guaranteed?
No. Manta habitat can be visited year-round, but sightings depend on wildlife and conditions.
Are park fees always included?
No. The dated examples above use different inclusion policies, so the complete mandatory total is the useful comparison.
Does a Bali departure mean more time inside Komodo?
Not necessarily. Bali cruises include longer passages and other regions; a Labuan Bajo loop concentrates on the park and nearby waters.

I have been diving with Reef Seekers Dive center in Labuan Bajo in 2010.
The diving was fantastic. I saw my first Manta Ray! Really good visibility, from 20m to 30m. We saw many whitetip reef sharks, turtles, schools of barracudas, Dogtooth Tuna and Giant trevallies! Awsome ;-).
The current was really strong on most of the dive sites and it can sometimes be quite impressive.
The Reef Seeker equipment was OK however there boat was quite slow and it took from 2 to 3 hours to reach the spots.
For the hotel, I stayed in the Gardena Hotel in Labuan Bajo, very basic bungalows but very cheap. Don’t forget to go to the sunset bar to share a beer with your buddies and watch the amazing sunset! They also have live bands sometimes.
I hope to come back soon to Komodo Islands!
Dieter, Open Water Advanced, 130 dives.
Awsome Diving but lots of current. Komodo Islands are a great place for Manta Rays and Reef Sharks!
Hi,
Is it possible to dive Komodo during the January/February period due to it being the rainy season? I have tried a few organistions but they do not operate because of the rain. Mnay thanks
Hello Pete,
I know it is possible to dive in December even if it is the rainy season. I think it might be the same in January / February. It is even recommended as it is the Manta Ray season ;-). Did you try to contact Reefseekers dive center in Labuan Bajo? They have been operating around Komodo for 20 years so they can for sure tell you.
Hi,
I made contact with reefseekers, they are closed during January as it is the rainy season.
Pete! The diving in Jan/ Feb is GREAT!! Your best bet is to go with an operator who is deeply familiar with the region and the sites. Please check out our website as we are offering two back to back trips at that time!
Sounds nice ! We’ll have some dives there next week. Thanks for informations !
Enjoy! I am sure you will love it. Please give us your feedbacks when you are back.
Wow it was awesome ! I saw 2 Manta ray, so slow, graceful and fearless ! Very intense experience
Hi there, did you see the Komodo dragons while there? Am thinking of a trip there to dive and to check out the dragons at the same time!
Yes I saw the Komodo Dragons! It was awsome, they are so impressive. You can easily go to the see the Dragons between 2 dives during your surface interval on Rinca Island.
I will be with a group of non diver friends in Bali from 8/19-9/1.From 8/25-8/30 I will break away from them in search of the best possible diving, as I’ve been diving since ’83, but never in this part of the world (I’m from NYC). Initially, Lombok and Flores were recommended, but Komono might be calling!
Is this idea reasonable and doable given the short time allotted? Would a short flight or ferry, followed by modest accommodations be out of the question?
Thank you.
Hello Paul! I really think Komodo has the best Diving in Indonesia. You need at least one week to go to Komodo to enjoy the place. You can easily take a flight from Bali to Labuan Bajo. There is a ferry but it takes 2 or 3 days and comfort is really basic. You will easily find cheap basic rooms in Labuan Bajo. Don’t hesitate to ask if you need further details ;-). Julien
Hi julien
U seem to know komodo diving very well. I am planning to go there and wonder best time of year with good viz and high possibility of manta.
1) how will early september be ?
2) I plan to spend 4-5days at komodo (after bali holiday). Will it be better on liveaboard or diving thru hotel ?
3) cheapest flight option from Dps –> L bajo

Hi!
Do you think a diver with just 10 dives should go to Komodo?
can u give us hotel information
Hi – I have questions about diving in Komodo. My girlfriend and I have 50-75 dives each so we are inexperienced, but we have dived in varied conditions (eg Galapagos).
We are thinking of visiting in December and doing 1-3 days diving.
How are the conditions then? Are the seas rough?
Is that a good time to see pelagic species?
Is it necessary to do a liveaboard, or is it feasible to do a couple of days diving from Labaunbajo?
Thanks!
Tom
Komodo is the best diving site. The marinelife is various from small colorfull critters such as pygmy seahorse, nudibranch, frogfish, ghost pipefish to giant such as sea turtle, manta ray even whales and dolphins. Strong and fierce current are usually common so you need to dive with experienced and safety first based dive operator. CN Dive is one of local most experienced dive operator in this area. Enjoy your dive!
I dove at Komodo National Park at Christmas this year. I stayed at Angel Island Resort and dove with Reef Seekers. The dive master, Stan, is local and very knowledgeable about the sites and the area. I had two standout diving days. At Batu Bolong we saw reef sharks, tuna, moray eels, lion fish, octopus, napoleon wrasse, turtle, clown triggerfish and countless other fish. It was hard to take it all in. The next day we went diving with the Mantas. I just augured myself into the bottom and watched the show. The current was very strong and a reef hook is essential equipment here. The boat rides were about an hour but the weather was so fine and the scenery is stunningly beautiful so I didn’t mind. Diving here pushed me out of my comfort zone because of the strong currents but Reef Seekers and Stan made sure that I was looked after.
Hey Kathy, It was very interesting and informative to read your write up. My son and I are leaving for Komodo on Friday, July 4th. We will be there for 6 days and are staying at Angel Island. Neither of us has ever dived but I will check out Reefseekers and Stan on your recommendation! We will also do some of the other stuff…going to look for the dragons, visiting the volcano and maybe also a day long cruise on our own boat! SO excited!! :-)) Any other advice you can offer would be great. Thanks.
Hi, I ended up doing the 9 night 10 day liveaboard with wicked diving and had such a brilliant time! The boat is basic, but the crew and diving was first class! Marine fee’s were included in the price and land excursions were also included i.e visiting the komodo dragons. I am looking at diving Raja Ampat next also with the wicked diving crew as they are having a 3 week expedition!
Hi there, I’d like to learn scuba diving @ Komodo as a beginner, as am attracted to see the dragons there. Knowing that this place is more suitable for experience divers, may I get recommendations here of the best dive club & best season for a beginner? Thanks!
Wicked diving is a very good diving organisation. I have done day diving and liveaboard with them and was very happy! I think best time to start is from April onwards after the rainy season, not sure when the rainy season starts.
I consider the Komodo World Heritage area among the best dive regions in the world; the combination of huge life (mantas, sharks, tuna, trevally) with the small life (nudibranch, pigmy seahorses etc.) go together to create a truly wonderful experience for divers. We dived with Divine Diving from Labuan Bajo and they were terrific. Sites dived in three days included The Cauldron (a raging current funnelled between two islands); Batu Bolong, which lived up to its nickname “Current City”, Crystal Rock, Castle Rock and two really easy dives (virtually no current) on Sebalon Kecil (small) and Sebalon Besar (large) islands, which are fairly close to Labuan Bajo.
Loved it all and we will return to dive with Divine Diving, run by Dutch woman Marij and wonderful divemaster named Hila.
Komodo island is the trip of a lifetime… You are going back with the giants dinosaurs who survived since then. Komodo is a place to be enjoyed, the diving is magnificent!
nih selain pulau komodo ane juga punya info wisata bahari min di jakarta yaitu pulau tidung kepulauan seribu jakarta cek aja di ebhepulautidung.com
saya belum pernah snorkeling atau diving di pulau komodo dan saya ingin mencobanya jika ada waktu dan kesempatan
Although I have not been to the Komodo island, after reading this article, my next scuba diving trip must be Komodo island to make my dream come true. Wow, the scenery is just magnificent. Thanks for this great article.
I am really grateful to the owner of this web page who has shared this great article at here.
I did a liveaboard there, with Divine Divers . The owner and the boat were a complete joke, completely unorganised for the events that happened.
However the diving was spectacular. Superb coral huge fish, mantas sharks. Strong currents. Not for beginners as most of the people were on the trip i was on. Best diving i have done. I’ve dived the great barrier reef, Sipadan, Andaman sea Similans,Gulf of Thailand, the red sea and the mediterranean sea. Komodo was the best.
Hello, I would like to dive Komodo over Christmas/New Year 2014. I am a very experienced diver. Can you recommend a land based location which is not expensive, for good diving or perhaps a live aboard which is safe and not expensive Thank you?
Wicked diving are good/safe and not expensive. I did day diving with them and a liveaboard.
Spent 5 days diving with Blue Marlin in last August out of Labuan Bajo and was the best diving that I have done. Great service with a fast dive boat so you have a 8.30 am start instead of 7.30 am. Boat has 3x200hp outboard motors for the fast trip to everywhere.
Every dive was a different experience from micro crabs to schools of GTs to Eagle Rays and of coarse Manta Rays. Highly recommend Blue Marlin and their staff. Jayakata Suites is a great place to stay if you want a little luxury. 8 mins from town. Hire a bike in town to get around cheap as chips. There are 3 Italian restaurants which are pretty good and heaps of local food. Labuan Bajo is a little off the beaten track but a great place to experience.
Very nice write-up. I absolutely appreciate this site.
Stick with it!
Hi
I am interested in doing a 3 or 4 night liveaboard around Komodo starting around the 28th April
Thanks
Fran
how long should one spend in komodo for diving and what is the best option for tight-budget backpackers who still want to go to the best dive sites (usually unreachable on day trips). thanks. Farzana790@hotmail.com Baby diver 40 dives but have AOW
Komodo is a very special place for diving, with pristine coral reefs, spectacular underwater topography and tons of stuff to see – from manta rays to several shark species, to amazing muck dives. It’s true that the currents can be strong and challenging but there are easier dive sites suitable for beginner divers that are still interesting to check out. It is crucial to dive with a reputable dive center.
I did my Advanced, EFR and Rescue Course with Divine Diving and couldn’t have been happier. Their liveaboard is lovely and excellent value (not luxory but perfectly comfortable with great food and a super friendly and attentive crew) and their dive guides and instructors are safety oriented, incredibly professional and have a profound knowledge of the area (local guides with 1000+ dives in komodo) so they understand currents and conditions perfectly and will spot all the interesting marine life. They really care about the protection of the park and they are a lot of fun
I also treated myself to a liveaboard trip to South Komodo with Wunderpus liveaboard which is more on the luxory side and that was absolutely stunning as well! Beautiful boat, amazing food and the diving in the South was spectacular (50+ manta rays!!!) although we had bad visibility and the water was veeeery cold.
The town itself, Labuan Bajo, isn’t for everyone, it’s dusty and a lot of trash everywhere, don’t expect a beach town vibe – but if you give it a chance and interact with locals you will meet the kindest and friendliest people. Plus, you have quite spectacular sunsets every day!
Hi there!
Me and my gf learned to dive at Gili air (Manta dive center). Tis was the perfect place to get your open water and advanced! Now we want to check out komodo. Is it a good place to be when you only have like 10 dives? We are a bit afraid that we don’t have enough experience with these currents. What do you guys recommend please.
Thanks dries, advanced 10 dives
Komodo has powerful currents in or surrounding several of the major dive sights. I would strongly suggest that you do some drift dives at spectacular and unknown/underrated Nusa Lembongan. There are fantastic drift dives there, as well as a high likelihood of seeing Manta Rays. I’ve dived with several shops there, my favorite by far is World Diving Lembongan. Best boat (two decks, toilet, great lunch, excellent service, short walk to boat, all equipment handled for you). After this, you will know if you’ve got the confidence necessary to tackle what can be found around Komodo.
Me and seven of my friends are planning to visit Komodo this December for diving. Few of us have dived only once at Goa(India) last year. Not much of an experience. Is Komodo suitable for us, if not then what options do we have at this time of the year. Whats your recommendations?
Hey Julien,
Love your site!!
Just wondering which company you recommend to do an Open Water PADI with on Komodo?
We are hoping to book in on 27th, in a few days!!
Cheers!

Hi,
Me and the wife are confused between Egypt and Indonesia for diving trip. We are Advanced Open Water Divers.
Dates : 20/05/2016 to 02/06/2016
Help would be appreciated!
Which place should we choose given its may end.
Hi Shray,
Both offer great diving. Depending which area you want to dive? How long are you going for? How confident are you in the water? Any budget? How many dives do you want to do? Day diving or liveaboard?
Hi thank you very much for your info. Nice to visit your site
Hi Julien,
My husband and have dived in many different locations. We are thinking of going on a liveaboard (private so just us on the boat) for 6 days. The reason for this is we have 4 kids – all under 12 of which only 2 have their PADI and v inexperienced. We were therefore thinking that most of what we would do is snorkelling. Someone told me the snorkelling wasn’t that great – quite deep and dark. Can that really be true??? We’ve snorkelled with the kids in the Maldives which was amazing…..I was expecting Komodo National Park to be a similar standard. Any thoughts?
Regards, Jenny
Allthough the visibility wasnt the best in april, i was totally amazed by the diving in komodo. The Corals are all healthy and cover the place completely. I never saw so many fishes in my entire life. Clouds of reef fish, many big pelagic fish and loads of whitetips and grey reefsharks. And we were surrounded by mantas at Mawan and Manta point. If you go for the small stuff, you will have your pleasure as well. Be careful with the currents, i thought i was used to currents. But i knew shit. on Chrystal Rock and Castle Rock you really should be equipped with a reefhook. It was literally blowing us away. Awesome!!!
Still love it to work as Dive Guide here in Komodo… Lots of marine life, healthy coral… On of the best place in the world…
It is true that komodo is famous with current, but there are lots of dive site that very easy to dive even for beginners…. Come to komodo and you will be amazed by the underwater life…
My husband and I went to Komodo for snorkeling in August 2018. There, the sea is very calm and there are very few tourists and dive boats.
My husband had a wonderful encounter with Manta Rays at Manta Point of Komodo. With no other tourists there, he had the mantas all to himself. Only later came another tourist boat.
Here you can see videos of the snorkeling with the mantas:
LINK REMOVED
The corals around Komodo are intact and very colorful and beautiful. We even saw a baby shark (Black Tip) near the beach, where the others were swimming. And from the boat we saw many dolphins and a turtle.
I went diving with LINK REMOVED. Diving is incredible in Komodo, yeah a lot of current but a lot of life and mantas!!
Hi everyone.
My wife and I will go to komodo island in 2 weeks for diving. We are not experienced divers we only have Advance padi with 22 dive each in Mexico Cuba red sea Egypt Costa rica and Indonesia. We did only 2 drift dive in Egypt and Mexico but we always felt confident secure we don’t hit corals and feel relax underwater. I saw that the best spot in Komodo are with very strong current so my question is : can we dive in these spot and be very careful or do you strongly believe that is not a good idea?
Thanks a lot for your helpful comments.
By the way we have time so we can dive at some spot with less current to get use to current if its necessary. What do you think?
Hi,
Have you contacted any dive centres yet, as it will be rainy season to see which centres will be going out.
Also, not all the sites have the same current, I have dived in both currents and calm spots there.
Enjoy your trip.
À magic week,over and under water. Thé Ari Jaya Isa semelle, but thé crée Isa omerville, ans we have vert Nice navals, all day. Pour divas envers.
