Scuba Junkie Komodo

Komodo, Indonesia

The team at Scuba Junkie Komodo are a solid choice if you're looking to really immerse yourself in the park. They run daily trips into Komodo National Park, hitting all the classics like Batu Bolong and Castle Rock. Our favourite thing about them is their genuine commitment to conservation; it’s more than just a tagline, you’ll see it in their briefings and how they operate. We’ve found their boats to be well-maintained and comfortable, making those longer transits out to the north feel less like a chore. The dive guides are sharp eyed, pointing out pygmy seahorses on gorgonian fans and even nudging us to look closer for wobbegongs tucked under ledges. We remember one particular drift dive at Siaba Besar, the current just strong enough to glide us past sleeping turtles and a busy school of fusiliers, the water so warm it felt like bathwater. They often manage to hit sites like Manta Point at optimal times, which can make all the difference between a fleeting glimpse and lingering with a feeding train of mantas. If you’re planning a trip, we’d suggest booking one of their dive and stay packages to keep things simple; their setup is perfect for winding down after a day of strong currents and big fish.
