Liveaboard Diving in Komodo National Park is the ultimate way to experience the region’s most remote and spectacular dive sites. Our
Komodo liveaboard dive safaris take you far beyond the reach of day boats, allowing you to explore
north, central, and southern Komodo over multiple days.
Designed for divers who want more dives, less travel, and flexible itineraries, our non-luxury liveaboard trips focus on
serious diving, small groups, and real value—without unnecessary frills.
Our liveaboard Tatawa
(meaning laugh and the name of one of the islands in the park) was custom built as a dive boat for operating dive liveaboard trips in the
Komodo National Park.
We will take you to the best dive sites in Komodo, and our professional and experienced guides will ensure that your experience is one to be fondly remembered.
Feel free to explore deserted beaches, snorkel, catch the sunset or spend your time leafing through our Fish ID library onboard. Between dives you will be more than well-fed with a range of Asian and Western dishes.
Tatawa features 5 well ventilated, fan-cooled cabins with a maximum capacity of 8 guests, complemented by a centralized air-conditioning system, indoor lounge and dining area, and spacious outdoor decks.
Guests can unwind on the foredeck or upper sun deck while enjoying a fully equipped kitchen, bathrooms with showers, dive deck, compressor, and generator. Designed as a safe, stable, and comfortable platform, Tatawa takes you beyond the ordinary into Komodo’s most remarkable dive locations.

Liveaboard diving in Komodo is best suited for certified divers, with the Advanced Open Water level recommended (or at minimum, completion of the Deep Adventure Dive).
Many dive sites extend beyond 18 meters, and drift diving is common. Our dive leaders carefully select sites each day based on weather, tides, and diver experience to ensure both safety and enjoyment.
Comprehensive dive briefings, proper safety equipment, and thoughtful dive planning are standard on every trip. With two experienced guides onboard, divers can be grouped according to their experience level for a more comfortable and personalized experience.
No individual dive sites are guaranteed.
Liveaboard diving provides access to some of the best dive sites in Komodo, including Batu Bolong, Castle Rock, Crystal Rock, Manta Alley, Tatawa, and the reefs of southern Komodo—depending on conditions and itinerary.
Divers can expect encounters with manta rays, reef sharks, turtles, Napoleon wrasse, large schools of fish, and vibrant coral gardens. The powerful tidal currents that define Komodo bring nutrient-rich waters, creating one of the most dynamic and thriving marine ecosystems in the world.
