Before You Book

Komodo Is Not a Beginner Park

Some sites here are genuinely gentle. Others have current that will move an experienced diver. We match you to sites by card and by logged dives, not just by card.

If your certification does not cover the sites you want, the course can usually be taken on board during the same trip.
