To dive from one live board On a Komodo diving safari you will have the best chance to see the unique sites of Komodo and the surrounding area. Diving in Komodo is among the best diving in Indonesia and the world you can do.
Komodo National Park and Gili Banta are particularly famous for their drift diving.

Highlights of your Komodo diving trip and safari here usually include several different locations. For example, Galley Rock, Mexican Hat, Rollercoaster, Pannetonne Wall, Manta alley, Sangeang, Horse shoe bay and The Waterfalls.
Diving in Komodo and a diving safari here in Indonesia on the coral reefs is an incredibly relaxing way to explore the beautiful reefs.
You can do a liveaboard in Komodo in two different ways. Either go with your liveaboard directly from Bali and to Komodo and then back. Then you also dive on the way there and home. Alternatively, you fly to the island of Flores and your liveaboard starts from here. If you go from Bali, you avoid the domestic flight and you don't have to think about the time between the diving and your flight. If you fly to Flores, you get a little more diving Komodo National park as it is closer. On the other hand, you must have an extra overnight stay in Flores to secure the time between diving and your flight.
