Each day, we’ll explore a variety of dive sites, from colorful reef systems teeming with fish to dramatic walls, caves, and volcanic sand slopes where warm bubbles rise straight from the seafloor.
Alor’s strong, nutrient-rich currents bring in large schools of fish and chances for pelagic animals, including hammerhead sharks, thresher sharks, mola mola, whale sharks and even blue whales.

Komodo Liveaboard Expedition
Komodo National Park, Indonesia
February 21 - 28, 2027
Join us for an unforgettable week of diving in some of the most diverse and remote waters of Komodo National Park.

Further south, cooler, nutrient-rich currents attract dense schools of fish and create a wilder, more dynamic underwater environment.
Dive sites range from soft-coral-covered walls and geothermal “hot rocks” full of life to sand and rubble habitats rich in macro subjects. Between dives, we’ll anchor at remote beaches set against volcanic landscapes and go ashore to see the Komodo dragons that give the park its name.
Our home for the week will be the Duyung Baru, a boutique liveaboard offering a comfortable and intimate way to experience this remarkable and remote region.
