Diving & Snorkeling in Komodo, Indonesia
Diving Komodo
Diving in Komodo has something for everyone — whether you're just starting out or a seasoned pro — with the best spots often coming to life with a bit of current to keep things exciting.
We're known for giving first-time liveaboard guests an amazing, relaxed experience, thanks to our excellent guide-to-guest ratio and flexible approach to timing dives just right.
Highlight
Mantas & Drift Dives
Encounter majestic manta rays at cleaning stations and enjoy exhilarating drift dives along pristine walls — Komodo's signature underwater experiences.
Biodiversity
Pristine Coral Reefs
Komodo's coral reefs are bursting with life, from colourful soft corals and massive table corals to delicate sea fans swaying in the currents. The reefs are absolutely stunning.
All Levels
Maximum Flexibility
With three dive guides for ten guests, we tailor every dive — from gentle coral gardens for beginners to thrilling current dives for advanced divers. Everyone dives at their pace.
"Absolutely perfect. Mario and the crew are true professionals — they know the sites, the weather, and really take care of the guests."

What You'll See Underwater
Marine Life in Komodo
From majestic mantas and reef sharks to tiny nudibranchs and ghost pipefish — Komodo's waters are a diver's paradise, packed with biodiversity at every depth.
Komodo
Mantas & Rays
Manta Point and Makassar Reef are two of Komodo's premier manta sites, where oceanic and reef mantas gather at cleaning stations year-round. Dive alongside wingspans exceeding four metres, and keep an eye out for mobula ray squadrons, spotted eagle rays, and the rarely seen marble ray.
Marine Life
Turtles
Green and hawksbill turtles are a near-guaranteed sighting at sites like Tatawa Besar and Siaba, where they graze on sponge-covered walls and rest under coral ledges. Look for olive ridleys in the open blue during drift dives — Komodo is one of the few places where all three Indo-Pacific species overlap.
Komodo Reefs
Sharks
Current-swept channels like Shotgun and Cauldron funnel nutrients that attract blacktip, whitetip, and grey reef sharks — often in groups of a dozen or more. At deeper sites like Castle Rock, bamboo sharks rest on the reef flat while grey reefs patrol the blue edge, offering photographers unforgettable encounters.
Komodo
Coral Reefs
Over 260 hard coral species blanket Komodo's reefs, with towering barrel sponges, whip corals, and Dendronephthya soft corals painting every wall in pink and orange. Sites like Batu Bolong and Crystal Rock consistently rate among the world's healthiest reef systems, with coral cover exceeding 70 percent in sheltered bays.
Komodo
Macro Magic
Muck spots like Wainilu and the sandy slopes of Torpedo Alley reward patient divers with pygmy seahorses on gorgonian fans, ornate ghost pipefish mimicking crinoids, and dozens of nudibranch species. Komodo's macro diversity rivals the Lembeh Strait — but with world-class reefs just minutes away.
Underwater
Topography
Komodo's volcanic origins created dramatic underwater landscapes: the twin pinnacles of Crystal Rock and Pillarsteen shoot up from 30 metres, Batu Bolong's seamount drops vertically into the abyss on all sides, and the caverns at Three Sisters offer atmospheric swim-throughs. No two sites look or feel alike.
Where We Dive
Komodo National Park
Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's top dive destinations. Located a one-hour flight east of Bali, its nutrient-rich waters create some of the most vibrant marine ecosystems on the planet.
Your Dive Base in Komodo
Liveaboard Moana
With only 10 guests on board, enjoy personal care and deep relaxation aboard our traditionally built, constantly maintained Komodo liveaboard — designed with great practicality in mind.
Deck
Relax
Between dives, stretch out on Moana's sundeck and swap stories with fellow divers. Two large lounging areas, shaded and open, give you space to debrief on sightings while the crew sets up your gear for the next dive.
Cuisine
Delicious
Surface intervals are even better with Moana's freshly prepared Indonesian cuisine — think nasi goreng at sunrise and grilled fish under the stars. Every meal is served family-style on deck, and the crew happily caters to dietary needs.
Cabin
Comfortable
After three dives a day, a proper rest matters. Each of Moana's five ensuite cabins has a private bathroom, fresh towels, and real beds — not bunks. Rinse off the salt, recharge, and be ready for the next morning's first dive.

A Classic 6D5N Trip with Moana
You'll ease into the rhythm on Day 1 with an afternoon dive, then enjoy up to four dives a day — morning, afternoon, and even night — at some of Komodo's best dive sites. The schedule is designed to suit all experience levels while making the most of the currents that bring the reef to life.
On Day 5, we take a break from diving to meet the legendary Komodo dragons on land. With a top-tier guide-to-guest ratio and a flexible approach to planning, we're all about great dives, good timing, and making sure everyone feels confident in the water.
This graphic gives you a snapshot of what a typical 6-day, 5-night trip aboard Moana looks like.
Each dive icon represents a water activity that could include not just diving, but also relaxed snorkel sessions — perfect for mixing it up or for anyone who prefers to stay closer to the surface.
On Day 1, we usually manage to fit in a second dive, depending on arrival times and conditions. Day 5 might also include an additional dive, depending on logistics, current location, and guests' flight schedules.
On your final morning, we make our way back to Labuan Bajo, where we'll transfer you either to the airport or your hotel in town — ending the trip on a smooth and stress-free note.
"A truly wonderful and unforgettable experience with an amazing boat and crew."
