CNDive - Komodo
CNDive, based in Komodo, tends to focus on daily dive trips rather than liveaboards. It’s a solid pick for divers who prefer returning to land each evening, perhaps staying in Labuan Bajo. They know the local sites well, navigating the strong currents common here. We'd suggest them for divers with some experience under their belt, looking for consistent boat dives to Komodo's iconic sites.
