| Scuba Komdo Diving Tours |
Our diving tours offer divers of all levels the chance
to explore Komodo's magnificent reefs and biologically diverse environment.
Komodo Island is considered one of the world's premier dive
destinations, with dozens of dive sites in a rare variety: walls with
fascinating coral formations, reef corners where the currents attract sharks,
rays and schooling fish, channels and other sandy bottom sites, tunnels, holes,
caves and caverns, Komodo Island has it all!
Although Komodo Island is considered an advanced dive
destination due to frequent currents and depths, there are plenty of easy dive
sites for beginners, or for those who wish to become a diver! Please refer to
our Scuba courses page if you wish to be certified or advance your dive skills
with Scuba Komodo Tours!
A typical day of diving with Scuba Komodo beings with an
8:00 a.m. complementary pickup from various hotels in Labuan Bajo to our dive
center in near harbor.
Most dive sites are located about three-4 hours from our
office at Labuan Bajo, offering our guests picture-perfect scenic boat rides
through the mushroom-like Padar Islands. Surface intervals and lunch breaks are
normally spent on either a virgin white sand beach with wild green vegetation,
equipped with cozy seating benches and toilet facilities, or on top of
snorkeling sites with stunning shallow reef plateaus.
Depending on your daily schedule, most boats return to
Labuan Bajo around 5-4 p.m. Scuba Komodo offer 3 dives a day a maximum of three
tanks a day on our day tours on Komodo Island.
We offer complimentary shuttle services back to your hotel,
available whenever you choose to return. Many guests stick around to enjoy a deco-beer
and snacks with friends and fellow divers at Bottom Time Bar and Grill while
enjoying the beautiful sunset views.
Divers' Safety
Divers' safety is a top priority at Scuba Komodo Tours. Our
custom-built dive boats are made for maximum safety and comfort, equipped with
twin two-stroke engines, VHF Radios, cell phones, DAN Emergency Oxygen Kits,
First Aid Kits, and a full canopy for sun protection. All our boat captains are
licensed local professionals who know Palau 's waters and reefs like the back
of their hands. All our dive guides hold current PADI professional level
credentials, are fully insured, and must complete 150 dives in Palau prior to
leading a group. Our guide-to- divers ratio is 1:8 at maximum, ensuring divers
are well looked after.
Law must guide all dives in Komodo Tours. All dives are conducted
from a boat, and are mostly drift dives. Each diver is required to carry a Safety
sausage.
The Reef Hook Experience
A reef hook is made of a metal hook on one side, a long
line, and a clip and or handle at the end, attached to the BCD. Divers to
attach themselves to the reef, hovering like a kite in upstream current and
watching the magnificent show in the big blue, use reef hooks: sharks, schools of snappers, revalues and
barracudas, small reef fish, rays and more!

dive tours including Unique Dive Expeditions spawning aggregations, Technical
