Questions, answered.

Plan at least 3 days to cover the north, the central park and the manta sites. Four to six days is ideal: 12 to 18 dives, with a rest day and a Komodo dragon trek in between.

We dive year-round. The main season runs from April to November, July to September is peak time for big fish and the northern sites, and December to March brings the big manta aggregations.

Hotel pickup between 06:00 and 06:30, the boat leaves at 06:50, then three guided dives at Central or North Komodo sites with a hot lunch on board. You are back at your hotel by about 16:00 to 16:30.

A 3-dive fun dive day is Rp 2.715.000 (about US$154) when you book online, and the daily rate drops on multi-day packages to about US$141 a day over seven days. Park fees are extra and paid on the day.

Day trips suit most divers: they cost less, stay flexible and reach the Central and North sites. A liveaboard makes more sense for southern sites like Manta Alley and Cannibal Rock, for four or more dive days in a row, or if you want to wake up at the dive site. Liveaboards start from around US$1,500 per person.

Most sites have a moderate drift. Castle Rock and The Cauldron (Shotgun) can run much stronger, so we only dive them on suitable tides with experienced divers.

All year round. The peak is December to March, when seeing 6 to 12 mantas at one cleaning station is normal.

Usually 15 to 25 m in the central park, up to 30 m at Castle Rock and Crystal Rock, and 10 to 18 m in the south.

Usually 18 to 24 m. Advanced divers can go to 30 m at Castle Rock and Crystal Rock, always within no-decompression limits.
