You are never a number
No guide ever takes more than four divers. That means proper attention, better group management in current, and access to sites where big groups would only get in the way.
About us
Good vibes, great dives.
Dive Tribe Komodo is a PADI 5-Star dive center in Labuan Bajo. We keep groups small, use new gear and leave early, so every diver feels safe, looked after and genuinely stoked.
Why divers choose us
Small groups, big days.
Three things shape every day we run, from the first pickup to the last dive.
Diving is supposed to be fun
Whether it is your first dive or your thousandth, the mood on our boat stays relaxed. Good people, great water, no stress.
Out before the crowds
We depart before most operators leave the dock, aiming for Batu Bolong and Castle Rock in the feeding windows, and we follow the tides rather than a fixed route.

Meet your instructors
The heart of Dive Tribe.
Karen and Martin have thousands of Komodo dives between them, and the whole crew is here to make your days on the water easy.
Martin
PADI Master Scuba Instructor
Martin leads many of our Open Water courses and is known for putting nervous first-timers at ease. His name comes up in a lot of our reviews.
Karen
PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor
Karen teaches PADI courses from your very first try dive through to Advanced Open Water, on the reefs she knows best.
Alland
PADI Divemaster
Alland guides our fun dive groups through Komodo's currents, always with four divers or fewer.
Plus Captain Isran at the helm, Chef David in the galley, and Nur and Nanda keeping the office running.
Gear you can trust.
We dive with Aqualung, Cressi, Mares and Amscud equipment, serviced on a rolling schedule so nothing is worn out. It is all included in every package, and we blend EAN32 and EAN36 nitrox on site.
Our base on Pantai Pede.
Find us at Diamond Hill on Jl. Pantai Pede in Labuan Bajo, with rinse facilities and a changing area for after your dives. Hotel pickup and drop-off is free on every dive day.

Looking after the reef and the people around it.
Komodo gives us everything, so we try to give a little back, to the coastline and to our own crew.
912 kg off Lenteng Beach
In a single day we cleared more than 900 kg of trash from Lenteng Beach and its mangroves, together with Yayasan Konservasi Tacik and UGM KKN students.
English lessons for the crew
We have started English lessons for our local team, so everyone on the boat can chat with divers from all over the world and grow with the business.
Certifying our own team
Aldy and Poppy from our crew have earned their PADI Open Water certification, and now explore the reefs they work above every day.
