Dive with us as we explore the exhilarating underwater sights of the Komodo Islands! Located 200 nautical miles east of Bali, the Komodo National Park is nestled between the large island of Sumbawa and Flores in Indonesia, all of which are part of the Lesser Sunda Islands. Accepted under the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Program in January 1977, and officially declared a World Heritage Site in 1991, Komodo National Park encompasses 132,000 hectares of marine waters making it one of the largest protected zones in the world.
The park and surrounding area boasts one of the world’s richest marine environments, with over 260 species of reef building coral, 70 species of sponge, marine worms, mollusks, echinoderms, crustaceans, over 1,000 species of cartilaginous and bony fish, marine reptiles, and marine mammals. Some notable marine species on this 10 night liveaboard itinerary include pygmy seahorses, anglerfish, nudibranchs, manta rays, dolphins, Napoleon wrasse and groupers.
As no visit to Komodo National Park would be complete without encountering the world-famous Komodo Dragons, our 10 night Komodo liveaboard itinerary also includes a land visit to observe these giant lizards in their natural habitat.

Expected schedule:
On a typical day we can expect up to 4 day dives or 3 day dives and a fourth sunset or night dive. The diving day is scheduled as follows:

• Hot Rocks! & The EstuaryWe'll find gorgonian fans with pygmy seahorses!
• Tiaga Dara/Three Sisters: Covered with soft corals, each of the three closely clustered pinnacles is a haven for macro creatures including frogfish and nudibranchs.
• Techno Reef: The dark volcanic sand is dotted with green, orange and yellow “black” coral bushes and enormous red barrel sponges, home to ghost pipefish, long nose hawkfish and pink squat lobsters.
• Manta Alley: We will watch graceful manta rays gliding about in the current and at cleaning stations. Expect to spot surgeonfish and triggerfish, too!
• Pink Beach: This shallow sheltered reef is perfect for a night dive with superb macro sightings from flamboyant cuttlefish, hairy frogfish, octopus and bobtail squid to the barely there skeleton shrimp, Pegasus sea moths, crocodile fish and snake eels.
• and so many more sights to see!

The Indo Siren Liveaboard
Launched in April 2011, the 40m Indo Siren liveaboard was built on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi and is handcrafted from ironwood and teak (traditional to the area). You will find no other diving liveaboard as beautiful in Indonesian waters and, being built by divers for divers, you can be rest assured that every need has been thought of and addressed!

From our friends at Master Liveaboards:
1. Dive gloves and reef hooks are not permitted within the National Park boundaries.
2. Drone use requires a permit to be obtained in advance, and is prohibited in some areas
