Komodo - Trip Reports

Back In The Land of the Dragons

The Mermaid I just got started with the first trip of the season in the Land of the Dragons, and it was full of surprises! Our first dives in Moyo island delivered big school of fusiliers, longfin bannerfish, as well as black tip reef sharks. On our first night dive right in front of a […]

Back in Komodo – A Homecoming

After quite some time being away exploring Raja Ampat, Halmahera, Lembeh, the Togean islands, Alor and the Banda Sea. The Mermaid II found herself on a homecoming journey, sailing from Maumere through Komodo and beyond before returning to her home port of Benoa in Bali for more adventures to come! The trip began with a […]

Bali to Komodo

This was a really nice trip with good conditions and plenty to see! Already the first day we were treated to Pygmy Seahorses, Turtles, Stargazers, Ghost Pipefish and a selection of Cephalopods, including a rare Long-armed Octopus hunting its dinner. From there, things only got better! The seamounts of North Komodo always deliver, and we […]

Komodo, One Macro World

We all know Komodo is known for its majestic rays and reef sharks, strong currents that bring great schoolings and other big stuff. But apart from superb hard corals and large fish, does everyone know what lies beneath these waters? Komodo is surrounded by active volcanos, dark sands and rubble areas which are home for […]

The Essence of Komodo

Diving in the vast seas of Indonesia with a whole entire underwater World to be explored! And that’s what Mermaid is all about! From Bali to the heart of Komodo, Mermaid2  dives in a superb underwater journey with tons of marine wonders! A week on board of pure bliss and great conditions from north to […]

Komodo, The Land of the Dragons

And so it begins, Mermaid1 gets started with the first trip of the season in Komodo! An unbelievable scenery that is hard to be described as there isn’t any other places on Earth that it can be compared to. Volcanos, black & white and pink sand beaches, more mangroves, Mantas and Dragons! Cold & warm […]

Snorkelling in Alor

If you are not a scuba diver but you are looking for a place where you can find a huge concentration of fish & corals right from the shallow waters, Alor is a place for you! Many would say Scuba divers can see more marine life the deeper they go but it’s actually not necessarily […]

Legendary Season

It’s the end of the Komodo season, and quite possibly my best season with Mermaid II in Komodo. As I scroll through my computer’s hard disk which is absolutely packed with all of my most memorable Komodo moments from 2016. Here are just a few of this year’s highlights from Mermaid II during the 2016 […]

Ketut Saves the Day

It’s heartbreaking to see such as small beautiful animal like this juvenile hawksbill sea turtle entangled in a discarded piece of fishing net. Luckily there was still time to turn this situation around. While on a surface interval at Castle Rock Ketut noticed a piece of fishing net drifting past the boat and inside was […]
