Dive the Komodo current

Batu Bolong on slack water, Castle Rock in the north, Manta Alley in the south. The sites are fixed; the timing is everything.

The sites

Which of these you get depends on the tide and the month, not on the price you paid.

Before you ask

Four quick answers

Do I need to be certified to join?

No. A Discover Scuba dive takes a complete beginner down supervised, and snorkellers share the same boat and the same sites.

When is the best time to dive Komodo?

April to October for the calmest water and 18–30 m visibility. Manta sightings run high most of the year; the south is cooler and richer.

How many dives fit in one day charter?

Two to three, depending on the sites and the surface interval. A liveaboard fits three to four a day.

Is gear rental included or extra?

Tanks, weights and fills are included. Full rental equipment is available on request and quoted separately.
