DIVE THE BEST OF KOMODO

Diving Komodo with dragon dive

Dragon Dive is well known worldwide for being a professional, secure, quality-oriented dive shop that will guarantee a fun and safe day diving. Our unique and experienced staff are trained to offer the best dive trips in the world-renowned Komodo National Park.

To ensure safety our dive groups are always kept small with a maximum of 4 to 5 divers per group. We arrange diving groups according to certification and experience level to make sure both new and experienced divers leave us feeling satisfied.

As passionate divers ourselves we are well aware of the impact on this fragile ecosystem and our mission to protect this underwater haven is at the heart of what we do. We have opted to use wooden slow boats instead of speed boats due to the lower emissions and increased comfort for guests. We always provide briefings on how to enjoy the national park with minimal impact on the environment.

Join us at Dragon Dive Komodo and embark on an unforgettable diving komodo adventure, exploring the depths of Komodo’s underwater wonderland while supporting sustainable and responsible diving practices.

A diving day in komodo

At Dragon Dive Komodo, we seize the day by starting early when diving in the central or North dive sites of Komodo. This strategic approach allows us to dive into the underwater wonders before other dive boats set sail from Labuan Bajo. A typical day with us would follow this schedule:

06:00 – Meet at Dragon Dive Hotel
08:30 – First dive
11:00 – Second dive
12:30 – Lunch
14:00 – Third dive
17:30 – Return to Dragon Dive Hotel

As well as a healthy Indonesian lunch we provide snacks on board like freshly baked cake and bananas. Also included on the boat are refreshments such as water, tea, coffee and soft drinks.

Our goal is to provide you with amazing memories underwater while scuba diving komodo island, but we also hope that you enjoy your time on the boat socialising with other guests and our diving guides and boat crew.

Diving komodo national park

The diving in Komodo National Park is world-class. Divers here are treated to an incredible variety of species from unique macro to giant marine life, so there is something for every diver to enjoy.

The national park sits in the heart of the coral triangle so we can explore an incredibly diverse range of over 200 species of coral. There isn’t many places in the world which can boast such healthy reefs, and the colour and sheer abundance of life is sure to impress even the most experienced divers.

The waters that surrounds Komodo and Rinca islands boasts a population of over 1000 manta rays as well as eagle rays, devil rays and marbled rays. We often see several reef shark species, as well as over a 1000 species of reef fishes. If you are lucky you may even spot elusive marine mammals such as dolphins and dugongs.

For the divers who are excited by the weird and wonderful, Komodo is also home to a huge variety of small marine life. The reefs and sands of Komodo are home to some rare macro species such as hairy shrimps, flamboyant cuttlefish, frogfish, a huge range of nudibranchs, a few different types of octopus and so much more!

Our FAMOUS DIVING boats

The layout of our boats prioritizes comfort, space, and safety – we believe this is the most pleasing and incredible way to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Komodo National Park!
We have three custom-designed dive boats; Two daily boats: Shiryu & Smaug, and Shenron, our liveaboard boat for Komodo with two double cabins and dorms setting.

With 500 Hp, let’s go everywhere.

The burly wooden diving boats are perfect for handling the intense weather conditions of the park.
They were redesigned in 2021 with safety in mind and with everyone’s enjoyment and comfort.
All our boats offer a shaded seating area for your breakfast and lunch.
