Trip Reports

Another trip with beautiful conditions – clear blue water and just enough current to bring all the good stuff in! The seamounts in North Komodo were packed with fish, and we found ourselves totally embedded in Surgeonfish, Snappers and Fusilliers while the predators, such as Giant Trevallies and Whitetip Reef Sharks, circled us, waiting for […]

Highlight this trip’s gotta be the Mantas in the south of the Komodo National Park. Famous for its cleaning stations, with any luck you’ll see these majestic rays lining up to get fixed by hundreds of cleaner fish. With good conditions we fully enjoyed the show, particularly when the Mantas moved in with their mouths […]

Although we see Manta Rays on pretty much all Bali – Komodo trips, on some they’re just everywhere. Starting already the first dive in the Komodo National Park, we spent our safety stop watching one of these beautiful creatures circling a cleaning station for a morning fix. More interested in the facility than us, we […]

We had an absolutey wonderful day at Sangeang Volcano this trip! Blue blue water, stunning corals and full of interesting critters of all sizes. Most famous dive here is Hot Rocks, where you have very obvious signs of the volcano not being quite dead yet – bubble fields in the shallows and really hot rocks […]

This time of the year it’s mating season for the famous Komodo Dragons, and they typically disappear up in the mountains for a month or two making it difficult to find any. We got really lucky though, as we managed to encounter a whole bunch of them. Seven to be more precise! With, in all […]

We had some cracking dives in the Komodo National Park this trip! At Castle Rock, a seamount in the north, we were diving in a virtual fishsoup – Giant Trevallies, Surgeonfish, Snappers and Batfish in great numbers, as well as Whitetip and Grey Reef Sharks patrolling the deeper parts. Batu Bolong, another famous dive, delivered […]

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 […]

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 […]
