Why Spyro for Padar
Padar sits far south of Labuan Bajo. Spyro, our speedboat built for small groups, makes the hike and two dives possible in one trip, with more time on the island and in the water.
The trip is run by the same team as our daily boats, with the same safety standards: a maximum of 4 divers per guide and a full briefing before every dive.
