Dive Requirements
To join our liveaboard, divers must have completed at least an Adventure Deep Dive, as many Komodo sites go deeper than 18m. Open Water divers can complete this dive or take the SSI Advanced Adventurer Course onboard.

For night dives, you’ll need an Adventure Night Dive certification, which can also be done with us. If you prefer not to, you can skip the night dive though no replacement day dive will be offered.

We require this because Komodo’s topography at sites like Batu Bolong and Castle Rock often involves deeper entry/exit points, and night dives open up a whole new underwater perspective.

Benefits for all divers: Beginners enjoy close supervision from our instructors during their first Komodo dives, while Advanced divers dive in groups matched to their certification level, so no one is held back.

Courses available:

• SSI Advanced Adventurer Course (Deep, Night, Navigation, Fish ID & Currents): 4,000,000 IDR including certification.

• Individual Adventure Dives (Deep & Night mandatory unless skipped, plus Navigation, Buoyancy, Currents): 800,000 IDR per dive, with logbook stamp & certificate.

If you haven’t dived in over a year, a Scuba Refresh is included in your trip price. Proof of your Open Water certification is required for all courses.

The nearest hospital to Komodo National Park is in Labuan Bajo, where you can get treatment for minor injuries or short stays. We’re also lucky to have an ISO-certified hyperbaric chamber at Siloam Hospital.

Make sure your insurance covers chamber use, without it, a single session can cost around USD 10,000. Better safe than sorry!

Yes, but let’s set expectations. You won’t be hosting huge Zoom calls or uploading your entire trip in 4K.

What you will get is reliable Wi-Fi onboard, available to purchase for IDR 100,000 per trip, with enough speed for video calls, streaming, uploads, and posting to social media. Coverage reaches most of Komodo National Park; even Batu Bolong, Padar, and Rinca, though it’s still worth bringing a local SIM card with internet data as a backup. Go get a TELKOMSEL card. You can purchase here in the town, nearby the harbour there is an official shop called GRAPARI. 

Keep in mind, signal isn’t available everywhere in the park. It’s not a data center, but it’s a pretty great lifeline.

And of course, for those who’d rather disconnect completely, the Wi-Fi won’t chase you. Switch it off, let your phone rest, and enjoy manta rays, glowing sunsets, and cold Bintangs under the stars. You do you.

As Komodo is famous for its strong current, we maintain a strict policy of a maximum of four divers per dive guide with the same certification and experience level, ensuring personalized attention and safety.
