Shenron Liveaboard — boutique vessel
Mantas & vibrant marine life
Komodo National Park offers some of the planet's most spectacular diving. The convergence of the Indian and Pacific Oceans creates nutrient-rich currents supporting extraordinary biodiversity.
Komodo offers diving all year, but conditions vary by season. Here's a breakdown to help you plan your adventure:
Rainy season, fewer boats. Best for South Komodo & Padar, cooler water, mantas frequent; gorgeous soft corals & macro.
Transition into peak for North & Central: calmer seas, blooming reefs, improving visibility.
Dry-season peak. Stronger currents in the North for epic drifts; excellent visibility. Mantas are more elusive at this time of year — you’ll need a bit of luck to spot them.
Warm water, fewer crowds; mantas return south. One of the best windows to explore all regions.
Planning your route around seasons and using Nitrox helps you make the most of Komodo’s currents, sites and marine life.
Our Komodo liveaboard packages include: private cabin accommodation, all meals onboard, 3–4 dives daily with experienced guides, tanks, weights, and Nitrox for certified divers. Komodo National Park entrance fees are paid separately upon arrival.
We maintain a maximum of 8 guests to ensure personalized service, safety, and flexibility. Ideal for photographers and for visiting less crowded dive sites.
Yes! We provide Nitrox (EAN32) at no extra charge for certified divers on liveaboard, and it’s available on day trips. Nitrox certification courses are also offered at our PADI dive center.
Komodo diving is excellent year-round, but conditions vary: April–November often gives calmer seas and great visibility in the north. December–March brings cooler, plankton-rich waters to the south, with frequent manta encounters. We adjust itineraries to conditions.
Fly to Labuan Bajo (LBJ) via Bali, Jakarta, Surabaya or Kuala Lumpur & Singapore. We’re located in central Labuan Bajo, ~10 minutes from the airport. Airport transfers can be arranged; we recommend arriving a day before departure.
Absolutely. Komodo has some very challenging sites, but there are also many beginner-friendly locations. We have a strong safety culture with 0 serious dive accidents to date. Our PADI 5★ IDC dive center offers Open Water courses and we always match dive sites to your experience level, using sheltered reefs for training and building up gradually before any current-exposed dives.
