Located among the Lesser Sunda Islands between Flores and Sumbawa. Komodo Island is just one of a group of three large islands and many smaller islands that make-up the Komodo National Park.
Formed in 1980 to protect the habitat of the Komodo Dragons, UNESCO later listed the Komodo National Park as a World Heritage Site in 1991.

NORTH SULAWESI

Located in the north of Indonesia, between Borneo and the Maluku Islands. The far north-eastern tip of  Sulawesi is surrounded by islands and reefs. Among them the islands of the Bangka Archipelago and Lembeh Strait offer some of the most diverse diving on Earth. From an incredible variety of critters in Lembeh Strait to the soft coral coated pinnacles of Bangka Island.

Live Aboard Diving Indonesia
Since 2008 we have been running underwater photo live-aboard trips to the Komodo National Park in eastern Indonesia. We are also now adding  some other destinations among the islands of eastern and northern Indonesia. These trips are timed to coincide with the times of year that generally provide peak diving and underwater photographic conditions.
The trips are organised to allow mimimum travelling onboard the live-aboard vessel, with no overnight travelling, and no long drawn-out boat journeys.
We fly out of the Airport on Denpasar, Bali to Flores for our Komodo trips. From Singapore or Jakarta for other Indonesian destinations to meet the Live-Aboard at its pre-determined location to start our trips.
We make all arrangements for the flights, boat and all diving. All you need to worry about is you .... and your camera equipment!
We cater to experienced divers only, as many of the dive sites we visit are in open-ocean environments and we do experience currents. But we also time our trips to coincide with the smallest tidal fluctuations at our destination, so we don't experience the stronger currents that these areas are re-known for.
Our emphasis is on the quality of dives we conduct. We mostly offer 4 dives a day, (3 day & 1 night dive). But you won't be harassed into cutting dives short or when you reach a mimimum tank pressure. You can make your dives as long as they can safely be conducted.
Jeff also offers FREE underwater photography help to all guests, plus offers FREE evening tuition with Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom.
