Diving Komodo offers a large variety of boats of varying standards and design to choose from. Vastly different boats the vessels below all run excellent trips of different length and itinerary meaning you can choose from a 7, 9, 10 or 11 day liveaboard to Komodo leaving from either Bali, Bima in Sumbawa or Labuanbajo in Flores.
Diving in Komodo is not a new idea but recently it's being recognised as a premier destination due to the
awesome variety of diving to be had. Crystal clear water and dive sites where you never see another diver provide a little something for everyone whether it's macro or massive you love. One day you can be crawling along the bottom looking at pygmy seahorses, frogfish and unusual nudibranch and the next you are in the big blue on an open water pinnacle as the mantas fly by, the sharks circle and the dolphins hunt and the next day diving a live volcano!! For sheer variety there is no better place on earth. Diving in Komodo is one of the few places left in the world where sharks are not rare and down south is one of the places where manta rays have their legendary aggregations, meaning they are here in the area in their hundreds!!!
Starting from Bali, Bima or Komodo you cruise in luxury diving the small islands north of Sumbawa, Gili Banta, Gili Lawalaut, Sangeang volcano, and of course Komodo experie
ncing the best of the Lesser Sunda islands.

One of the highlights of these trips is the rare opportunity to walk with the lengendary Komodo dragons. These truly awesome beasts can reach 3 metres plus and can reportedly run at 20km an hour chasing their prey, something I am not willing to put to the test. It's the icing on the cake, Stunning diving and one of the world's last surviving dinosaur descendants all one amazing package.
This is truly the trip of a lifetime.

Travelling aboard a classic buginese schooner built entirely of teak and tropical woods you will have the opportunity to explore the most exotic and remote islands of Indonesia seeing places where you could possibly never get to by yourself. On board Ondina you will have enough space to relax alone, or to share a nice chat sitting in the cool atmosphere of our a/c dinning room or enjoy a full moon evening from a comfortable hammock on our spacious sun deck before taking a rest in your a/c cabin.
We have tried to create a comfortable accommodation to be your home and base camp as we sail and dive from island to island.
In the unlikely event you don't feel like diving, swimming or snorkeling, we can arrange a walk through isolated forests, along desert beaches or in the undisturbed villages we will come across during our sail.
