Diving in Komodo is a thrilling experience, offering some of the world's most biodiverse marine environments. The crystal-clear waters are home to vibrant coral reefs, dramatic underwater topography, and an abundance of marine life.
Divers can encounter everything from colorful fish and sea turtles to majestic manta rays and even the elusive Komodo dragon in its aquatic habitat. The currents here can be strong, making for exhilarating drift dives at famous sites like Batu Bolong and Castle Rock.
Whether you're a novice or experienced diver, Komodo's rich underwater ecosystems provide an unforgettable adventure, with something new to discover on every dive.
The best time to dive in Komodo is during the dry season, from April to November. This period offers calm seas, excellent visibility, and favorable weather conditions for diving. Water temperatures range from 26°C to 29°C (79°F to 84°F), making it comfortable for divers. While diving is possible year-round, the dry season provides the most consistent conditions, with clear waters and optimal conditions for spotting diverse marine life, including manta rays, sharks, and vibrant coral reefs. The wet season (December to March) can bring stronger currents and reduced visibility, but some experienced divers still enjoy the quieter, less crowded sites.
Labuan Bajo is the nearest airport and is serviced by flights from Bali, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur all year around.
