Highlights
Bajak is a newly renovated boat that brings forth a pirate-like atmosphere while maintaining modern-day comforts for 14 guests. The living space consists of 4 air-conditioned cabins: 1 master cabin with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom, and 3 shared cabins with 4 bunk beds and 2 shared bathrooms. Made mostly from ironwood and teakwood salvaged from decommissioned boats, the Bajak operates as a liveaboard boat in the beautiful setting of the Komodo National Park and offers access to one of the richest marine environments in the world, including stunning coral reefs, seagrass beds, seamounts, pinnacles, dramatic walls, overhangs, semi-enclosed bays, and Komodo Dragons.
The exterior features a spacious, shaded deck ideal for dive preparation, as well as an unshaded rooftop equipped with comfortable bean bags and sun mattresses, perfect for tanning and relaxation. The dining table is set right in the open galley. Additionally, there is a furnished undercover space primed for relaxing and keeping cool.
The itineraries can be set to meet everyone’s picture of a perfect holiday. Complementary to diving are surfing, sailing, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding. Guided walks on the local islands are also possible, allowing one to see the notorious Komodo dragon. Komodo offers some of the best diving in the world, with dive sites such as Manta Point, Batu Balong, and Batu Tiga. The reserve is teeming with diversity. Dugongs, manta rays, white-tip reef sharks, and hawksbill turtles are just a few residents. There is also the option to do your advanced diving course on-site.

Great crew, wonderful experience
Had a wonderful time on Bajak! The crew and dive guides were very experienced. We did 12 dives during the liveaboard and the days also included a sunset trek up on of the islands w an amazing view and an easy trek around Komodo National Park to spot the Komodo dragons. Our guide Angie/Engel is very experienced and made us feel safe for all our dives even though some dive sites may have strong currents. Saw a lot of marine life and also experienced the most thrilling Shotgun! We stayed at the Master Cabin which is en-suite with AC, and has a private “sun deck” outside. Was v comfortable overall! Highly recommended!

Great time at the Bajak liveaboard and Pygmy seahorse!
Just amazing. Can’t recommend it enough. The dive guides did an amazing job. They found just about everything I wanted to see. Helped me spot things and made me feel safe even in strong currents. They handled everything so well. The crew was funny and friendly. They really made sure there were good vibes on the boat. They also helped out so much with the diving gear and made everything run smoothly. I was so worried about the weather since it was rainy season, but we barely got any rain.

Transformative trip; extraordinary marine environment, fabulous friendly people -
A transformative experience. The most beautiful environment above and below the water; more fish than I have ever seen before, amazing coral reefs; multiple viewings of the magnificent manta rays and the most friendly, enthusiastic and helpful dive masters and crew you could possibly want. Not to mention the mix of international guests who were all delightful. A total treat. Scuba Republic run a highly professional, safe, affordable and enjoyable diving experience. I had 3 nights/4 days on board Bajak around the Komodo Islands and although I am relatively new to diving with still a lot to learn, and confidence to build, all my needs and concerns were taken care of moment by moment. My dive master was there for me all the way. If the dive was going to be too challenging for me, I would either snorkel or relax on the deck and enjoy the scenery instead. Yunus, the dive director, was not only extremely experienced but a bundle of laughs too. Takim the chef kept us so well fed - it was impossible to resist his delicious food.. the captain knew his boat and the islands, Bajak was well built and comfortable. To my surprise there was even wifi! I was both the granny of the trip – 20-30 yrs older than all the other guests,(!) and the baby in terms of diving experience and I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending this trip to anyone who is after a unique underwater experience in one of the most beautiful unspoilt areas of the world.

Amazing experience
One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The trip was fantastic, and Komodo National Park is beautiful, both above and below the surface. The organization was flawless, and the company among the best I’ve ever experienced. If I were to return to Komodo, I would have absolutely no doubts about who to trust for diving again. Thank you so much.

Amazing live aboard experience
I did my advance course on the cruise and had the most amazing experience. The dives were challenging, but I had detailed explanation and felt fully supported! Staff in general made me feel like Family for the four days on the sea. Super yummy snacks and variety of food as well. The boat was just the perfect size for the group and had some cool and comfy chilling spaces.

Amazing trip
It was an amazing experience to spend 4 days in Bajak with Scuba Republic. We also completed our advanced open water diver with Franck, the best guide we could have wished for. Very professional and has a great knowledge of everything you need to improve your diving skills. Overall, the crew and also the other guests were really nice and we had an amazing time. Would book it again anytime and can fully recommend it without any doubt

Manta paradise in Komodo
Did the 4d/3n Komodo Liveaboard in August 2024. The crew lead by Yunus has a perfect combination of fun and 100% professionalism. We always felt safe. It was a fantastic trip with incredible dive sites and for me personally the best in 28 years diving. Keep the spirit 👍
