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.

Bajak - Amazing!
I went solo on the Bajak Liveaboard and LOVED my experience. The boat isn't huge, but there were enough areas to relax and unwind. I am coeliac, and the chefs prepared delicious meals that catered to my dietary needs. The dive sites were very diverse and we saw some amazing sea life. The crew were always ready to make you a coffee, or get your dive gear ready - this made the experience even more comfortable. Although the cabins were cosy, the aircon worked a treat. The Bajak is very good value for money - would definitely recommend!

Oh My Goodness Bajaks Ahoy
Bajak was extraordinary! From the moment we were welcomed at the dive shop in Labuan Bajo to the final goodbye on return we felt like we were part of a family. The staff showed excellent care and passion for their jobs and constantly put our safety first. Shout out to Yunus and Fian our dive guides for taking such good care of us underwater and ensuring that we were shown all the wonderful sites/sights that Komodo National Park had to offer. Thank you to the crew for making sure that our equipment was taken care of, tender runs were prompt and the food was in our bellies. Bajak itself was an incredible vessel to seize the day on, offering panoramic views, comfortable lounge areas and clean facilities. We would highly recommend this liveaboard to absolutely everyone, no matter what level as its staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an experience to last a lifetime. Thank you for an incredible time and we will be back soon!

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 👍

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!

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.

Best Liveaboard Experience – Scuba Republic Komodo
Just returned from a 4-day liveaboard with Scuba Republic, and I can honestly say it was the best liveaboard I’ve ever been on. From start to finish, everything was smooth, safe, and incredibly well-organized. The crew was exceptional — warm, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. You really feel like you’re in good hands from the moment you step on board. A huge shoutout to my dive guide Engel, who made every dive feel safe, exciting, and special. His knowledge of the dive sites and marine life was impressive — we saw tons of sharks, manta rays, stunning coral gardens, and so much more. The itinerary was perfectly planned, with a great mix of adrenaline-filled dives and relaxed reef exploration. Every dive felt like a highlight. The dive equipment was in excellent condition and perfectly prepared for every single dive — something I really appreciated. The boat was clean, comfortable, with delicious food and plenty of space to relax between dives. 👉 If you’re looking for a liveaboard in Komodo, this is the one to book. It’s simply the best. I’m already dreaming of my next trip with Scuba Republic!

I thought it was going to be great and it was epic
I had high expectations but they surpassed it. To begin with, the crew was friendly, had a huge smile on their face all the time and they made everything to make us feel at home. We were very lucky with our group because everyone was very respectful, calm and made the living experience very enjoyable. Then the dive sites - WOW! I enjoyed diving with currents, it was so much fun and I loved the kind of marine life that came with it, like sharks, giant fishes and mantas. And the boat was very spacious which made it easy to be comfortable in the relaxing time. Oh! And I was almost forgetting about the food! Thank you Henry for the delicious various meals that you prepared every day. If it weren’t for all the diving we would have come back with a few kilos for sure. Thank you all 🤗

These were 4 days to never forget.
It was a great experience. We were very lucky with our very nice co-guests and with the great crew. The diving was very professionally guided, with honest descriptions of what challenges to expect. Fantastic food. Perfect and secure care for getting back safely after diving or snorkling, the gear, the tanks, the boat, the cleaning. We noticed a hard working crew with a great sense of humor and much care for each other and for us. And we had so much fun, we laughed a lot playing games and joking about everything.
