Scuba Diving Komodo

Scuba Diving Komodo

A World-Class Dive Destination

Diving in Komodo means incredibly rich marine life, big variety of pelagic fish, sharks and macro diving; superb and untouched coral reefs, and amazing topography. You may dive Komodo National Park regardless of your diving level.

On our day diving boat, we bring you to the top dive sites in the Central and Northern parts of the Park. We recommend the Central area, including dive site Siaba Besar, for novices and beginners, and the Northern area, including the dive site Shotgun, for divers with previous experience in current diving.

The unique wildlife and nature attract divers and non-divers to visit Komodo National Park all year around.  However, keep in mind that there are two seasons: the rainy season (December – February) and the dry season (March –November).

You can dive during both seasons, however due to the rains from December to February, the conditions can sometimes become less pleasant and we may not be able to go out. On the other hand, December through February offers some of the best chances to see large numbers of manta rays.

We generally experience the best diving conditions in Komodo from March through October.
