Diving with Grand Komodo Liveaboards
The Grand Komodo fleet takes divers around the Indonesian archipelago to experience dive sites, many of which remain undiscovered and can be explored with Grand Komodo as new areas open up. All of the Grand Komodo fleet boats were specifically designed for diving in Indonesia, with each boat equipped with a dive platform, kitting-up stations, a dedicated camera table, and a rinse tank. Divers only need to set up their gear once, and it stays in place throughout the trip, getting filled in place.
All boats are Bugis style and depart from Labuan Bajo or Sorong for incredible diving in Indonesia. All of the Grand Komodo phinisi have private en-suite bathrooms and twin or double-bed cabins and cater for just 6-14 guests to offer a more bespoke experience.
