Pinta’s 2027 dive charters run USD 11,250 to USD 37,900 whole boat, and leisure charters from USD 4,900. Full rate cards, the per-person maths, and every cost that sits outside the charter.

April to June and September to November are the calmest, clearest months for diving Komodo in 2027. December to March is peak manta and roughest sea. A month-by-month booking calendar.

Flying a drone inside Komodo National Park requires permission from the park authority. Here is what we can verify, what we cannot, and the process to follow before you pack one.

Wide-angle for the northern pinnacles and manta channels, macro for the cold south. Settings, housing discipline and the boat facilities that decide whether your week produces images.

Full scuba sets and cylinders are on board. Mask, computer, reef hook, SMB and exposure suit are yours. A bring-versus-provided table for a Komodo dive charter in 2027.

Northern Komodo runs 15 to 30 metres of visibility at 26 to 29 degrees; the south drops to 10 to 20 metres and 21 to 25 degrees in upwelling season. A month-by-month comparison for planning.

Yes. Karang Makassar runs 8 to 18 metres with a gentle drift, shallow enough for competent snorkellers to watch mantas pass beneath. Here is what it takes and what the snorkel rate card looks like.

Nitrox extends no-decompression limits at 18 to 30 metres, which is exactly where Komodo’s best diving sits. Here is when it helps, when it does nothing, and why gas is rarely the limiting factor here.

Komodo is not one destination but two: sheltered beginner sites and current-driven advanced pinnacles. Here is which sites a new diver can dive safely, and which ones honest operators will refuse.

Green and hawksbill turtles are near-certain in Komodo. Dugongs are rare and unpredictable, and mola-mola are a Bali animal, not a Komodo one. An honest probability table.
