Who Is It Perfect For? 

  • Anyone considering becoming a certified diver but wanting to try it first.
  • Complete beginners who have never tried scuba diving.
  • Travellers who want to experience Komodo from below the surface.
  • Couples, families, and friends looking for a unique adventure together.

If you are at least 10 years old, comfortable in the water, and in good general health, you're ready to discover scuba diving with us.

What Can You Expect From DSD With Dive Komodo?

Your adventure begins with a relaxed introduction to scuba diving. Your instructor will explain how the equipment works, teach you the essential safety principles, and guide you through a few simple underwater skills.

Once you're comfortable, it's time to explore.

Unlike many destinations, Komodo is famous for its rich marine biodiversity, vibrant coral gardens, turtles, reef sharks, and countless tropical fish. Throughout the day, your instructor stays by your side, ensuring you feel safe, confident, and able to fully enjoy every moment underwater.

You'll complete two guided dives, with a maximum depth of 12 metres, giving you plenty of time to experience the magic of breathing underwater for the very first time.

Which Dive Sites Will You Visit?

Komodo National Park is renowned for world-class diving, but it's also known for strong currents at some of its more advanced sites.

For Discover Scuba Diving participants, we carefully select sheltered locations with calmer conditions, typically around the Central Komodo area. Chances to see Manta Rays, Turtles, big fishes and even Sharks or Dugongs.  These protected reefs provide the perfect environment to learn, build confidence, and enjoy your first underwater adventure.

Our experienced team evaluates tides, weather, and sea conditions every day to choose the safest and most enjoyable sites for beginners.

Because every day in Komodo is different, dive locations may vary, but your comfort and safety always come first.

We couldn’t have chosen a better dive shop for our Komodo dives! Ovi, the woman working at the reception, is exceptional and helped us organize the dives in the dive sites we wanted to explore, even when it was difficult to arrange an activity, she did whatever she could do to help us and make us not miss anything.

Perfect for walk-ins, competitive prices and very nice divemasters, probably among the best we dove with in Asia.

This place is a true institution given the fact that it was among the first ones ever to open in Labuan Bajo, hence you are in experienced and knowledgeable hands with Dive Komodo.

This is the most amazing dive company in Labuan Bajo!! They run really incredible and affordable liveaboards - food was delicious, staff so experienced and caring (they also catered to gluten free food easily).

I would highly recommend this company it’s so wholesome and feels like you are a part of the family when you’re diving with them 🫶🫶

The guides know the best times and best spots to go to so we saw so everything - mantas, octopus, seahorse!!

My girlfriend and I went diving for two days with the Komodo team. On the first day, we were lucky enough to even see dolphins diving alongside manta rays. On the second day, we headed north and had the pleasure of tackling the famous Komodo currents 🤙🏻 and saw at least 10 reef sharks all together.

The dive masters were very knowledgeable, and the boat and the entire crew were really kind.

Sharon is a fantastic dive master; we joked the whole time in and out of the water 😅.

Thanks to Dive Komodo for fulfilling all our requests.

Amazing experience! The diving school was fantastic from start to finish. I came in with a huge amount of fear, but thanks to the wonderful instructor Jordie 🫶🏻❤️ and her patience, support, and professionalism, I managed to complete my Open Water course. I never thought I could do it, and now I’m so proud of myself. Highly recommended to anyone who’s scared but dreams of diving!

I had an amazing five days on this liveaboard and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The crew made me feel safe, welcome, and well taken care of from start to finish. The dive sites were beautiful, with healthy coral and fantastic underwater scenery(mantas!!!) and I learned so much during the trip.

I had some equalizing issues one day, but my dive master Fabi was incredibly supportive and patient, which made a big difference and helped me feel confident and relaxed. The food was also excellent—fresh, tasty, and plentiful. Overall, a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend.

We did the 5d4n liveaboard with DiveKomodo and it was absolutely phenomenal, highly recommend this experience.

It was nothing short of incredible - all while being restricted with some locations due to an unfortunate accident.

We did 17 dives total, each in fantastic areas with incredibly beautiful and healthy coral reefs. During these dives, our dive guides, Fabi, Lando and Velyx, always promoted and ensured eco conscious values, such as not to touch the reef and particularly steering clear of manta cleaning stations, which is something we valued a lot from the experience.

The food as well was amazing, and the boat was a perfect size - there was 8 customers total and it never felt too packed despite living in close proximity for 5 days.

As for the quality of the dive sites - we’ll watch a couple videos and you’ll see for yourself! Amazing biodiversity and healthy reefs.

The divekomodo team was also just so kind and friendly and such a great experience overall. Highly recommend

I had an absolutely incredible experience with Dive Komodo — easily one of the best dive operations I’ve encountered, and that’s saying something as a dive professional myself.

First, the shop is centrally located in Labuan Bajo, which made everything convenient from the moment I arrived. I did my first liveaboard with them, and it was organized beyond perfection. From booking to the final dive, everything ran smoothly and effortlessly.

A huge shout-out to Sofia, who was super helpful and lightning-fast with her responses. Thanks to her, the entire booking process was seamless and stress-free.

Onboard, Fabi, Jordy, and Marta handled the diving operations flawlessly. The dives were fun, relaxed, and incredibly well-organized, while always maintaining a strong sense of safety. We were also pampered throughout the trip with delicious meals, snacks, and drinks — the food alone could be a reason to return!

The whole crew went above and beyond. Even when I started feeling a bit unwell or when my equipment needed fixing, they were right there making sure I was comfortable and taken care of. They even arranged hikes, beach visits, and we were lucky enough to spot Komodo dragons, which made the experience even more unforgettable.

Post-dive chats with Jordy and Marta, deserves special praise. Their passion for diving and astonishing knowledge of marine life — especially macro — was truly inspiring.

And of course, the rest of the crew — Lipus, Freddie, Hendra, Fariin, and Iwan — added so much warmth and fun to the trip. We bonded over cheesy Indian songs, which became one of the unexpected highlights of the journey.

Overall, the vibe on the boat was fantastic — friendly, professional, and full of good energy. Dive Komodo delivered an experience that exceeded every expectation, and I’m deeply impressed by the level of care and professionalism they bring to every aspect of their trips. Highly, highly recommended.

From the very first day I contacted this dive shop five months ago, their team was extremely warm and responsive. They always replied quickly and kindly, and even when unexpected situations came up, they were very understanding and accommodating. That already gave me a lot of confidence before the trip started – truly a five-star service from the beginning.

I had an incredible 4-day trip with this dive shop, completing 12 dives that I will never forget. The underwater world in Komodo is simply breathtaking – so many different marine species, thrilling currents, endless sharks and majestic mantas. Every dive felt like a brand-new adventure.

A very special thanks to our dive guide San. He was extremely attentive and caring to everyone in the group. When the current was strong and I didn’t have enough fin power, he always came down to give me a helping hand, which made me feel safe and comfortable at all times. Even when there were many divers in the same site, San would skillfully bring us to explore other areas first, then bring us back later so we could enjoy taking photos without rush.

What impressed me even more was how San constantly pointed out fascinating macro life for us to see and photograph – from tiny critters hidden in the reef to sharks resting quietly under the corals. His sharp eyes and patience really made each dive extra special.

Life on the boat was also very well taken care of. From breakfast, lunch, fresh fruit, drinking water, tea and coffee, everything was thoughtfully prepared and made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable.

Overall, this was truly one of my best diving experiences ever. If I come back to Komodo, I will definitely dive with this shop again. Highly recommended to all divers, whether you are here for the big pelagics or the tiny macro creatures – you will not be disappointed! 🌊🦈🐢✨
