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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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
