Important Things To Expect On Your Diving Adventure

Having found the best dive shop in Komodo and doing a couple of day trips with Mikumba Diving , I decided to sign up for their “Best of Central & North” liveaboard.  I’ve been on a few different liveaboards in South East Asia, but yet again, these guys made me enjoy my trip so much, that I really think they are the best Komodo liveaboard you can book. Our trip was 4 days and 3 nights, and at the end of it, I really didn’t want to leave!  From the moment we joined the boat, we were made to feel like part of the family – everyone was introduced to us before we even left the harbour, even though they were busy trying to take us out to the Komodo National Park , they had time to meet the guests and welcome us to our home for the next few days, “Ratu Pelangi” – which we found out means Rainbow Queen. We set off from the harbour, eager to get to our first dive – some of the others on the boat hadn’t been diving for a while, but that wasn’t a problem, we were going...

The Komodo diving is famous for being challenging. The area is quite affected to the currents running through every day but that is also what makes the diving in Komodo so amazing to experience. But it does also put pressure on being strict when it comes to safety. Even though you’ve experienced diving with currents or not we all know that it comes with certain risks. That’s why we really care about conducting safe diving where ever we go on our boat trips in Komodo . Before every trip we have a proper safety briefing to go through all safety procedures including what we do if we get separated from our group & what happens if the diving staff judges that the conditions are not safe enough. But since the currents is what brings in all the amazing underwater creatures to Komodo, that’s also where you want to be diving. On our daytrips & budget liveaboard in Komodo we always conduct a current check before every dive. This helps us to get a better idea of where we want t...

Even though Komodo is known for having some of the best diving in Indonesia, there are many things to do while you’re here! One of the most iconic and scenic places in Indonesia is definitely Komodo! I've had the pleasure of staying in Labuan Bajo and exploring the surrounding here a little bit more. Both the Komodo National Park and the west side of Flores has a lot of nature experiences to offer. Because I found it a bit difficult to find information about the most visit worthy activities around here I decided to make my guide to the top 5 best activities you can do from Labuan Bajo. So let’s start on number 5 and let the countdown begin! Cunca Wulang. This is a cool waterfall about an hour drive with scooter from Labuan Bajo. It’s a bit of a drive but I enjoyed to discover some of the country side here, instead of just doing a boat trip in Komodo . When you get to the parking area you need a guide to take you to the waterfall. we paid 140k for the three of us. Rangk...
