How to Travel to Komodo Island
Planning your trip to Komodo Island has never been easier, thanks to the new direct AirAsia flights from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Whether you’re traveling from Malaysia or Singapore, these new routes make your journey to this stunning destination smooth and hassle-free.
Departure and return for our Komodo dive cruises are from/to Labuan Bajo (West Flores). Labuan Bajo is well-served from Denpasar (Bali) , and Jakarta too .
In the Komodo region, water temperatures and visibility showcase fascinating variations throughout the year. The southern waters are typically on the cooler side, fluctuating between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C), while temperatures in the northern areas are slightly warmer, ranging from 77°F to 82°F (25°C to 28°C).
During the months of July and August, the sea reaches its coldest, coinciding with an influx of nutrient-rich waters. This period often offers a unique diving experience, with increased marine life activity due to the nutrients.
Overall, Komodo‘s diverse underwater conditions provide divers with a range of experiences, from exploring nutrient-rich waters in cooler temperatures to enjoying the crystal-clear depths in more secluded areas.
Wetsuit Recommendation
We recommend a 5mm long wetsuit and a hood for optimal comfort while diving.
Diving Depth
You can dive up to a maximum depth of 30 meters (100 feet).
Currents
Be prepared for significant currents, whirlpools, and downdrafts on some dives. A good level of diving experience and familiarity with drift diving are recommended. Divers should bring a buoy and a signaling mirror. Although we aim to dive in the best sea conditions, they can change rapidly. The southern sites offer calmer dives rich in macro life.
Visibility
Visibility can differ significantly depending on location. Near major islands and the region of Labuan Bajo in Flores, divers might experience visibility around 50 feet (15 meters). Conversely, more remote diving spots, accessible only by liveaboard vessels, often enjoy exceptional visibility—potentially stretching to 100 feet (30 meters) or more.
