Great trip through Komodo
Great trip on Bajak, great guides making sure diving is safe but if wanted also challenging and catering to all different experience levels. Amazing dive sites. Great food and snacks on the boat and super kind and helpful staff. Absolutely loved the trip and would do it again. Rooms are, as shown in pictures. A bit small but beds are comfortable, AC works well.

Simple but great
The boat and the facilities are not high-end, for example no Nitrox onboard, which is reflected in the relatively moderate price of the trip. Most customers were young, and the atmosphere on the trip was lively - imagine a nice, floating youth hostel. Food is quite simple, but the cook was brilliant and made really tasty meals. I especially liked his deep fried stuff. We were lucky to have Coco as our dive guide. He was a brilliant instructor for my wife who struggled a bit with buoyancy control.

Manta Washing Station, witnessing the stunning Manta storm.3️⃣ Night Dive (3★): A more basic night dive for getting a sense of macro. Day 2: Isekai Expedition and the Southern Giant Rock🧗 Padar Island (5★): Wake up at 5:10 AM. From the summit, you can enjoy a godlike view of 'Zelda Island' and encounter a wild deer on the beach.4️⃣ Secret Garden (4★): True to its name, with extremely high coral coverage, a paradise for sea turtles.5️⃣ Three Sisters (4★): Three massive reefs, psychedelic terrain, classic southern line landforms.6️⃣ Loh Sera (4★): Bulk cargo area, stunning vertical rock faces with excellent visibility.

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 👍

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!

Incredible value, fab diving, helpful crew, lovely boat, tasty food....
This trip surpassed my expectations in every way. I was a little worried to book it as it was such a good price, but I trusted the reviews and I am so beyond pleased that I did. The boat is lovely, it felt like home from the moment we stepped aboard. It is very cute and cosy, but also didn't feel at all cramped, even though my trip was full. There were plenty of places to chill out and either chat, read or just look out to sea and admire the beautiful scenery. The bunk bed was super comfy and felt like I had plenty of room. The diving in Komodo was amazing, I did Raja Ampat last year and would say these dives were more fun and more diverse (maybe slightly less pretty coral formations) The Manta action was out of this world and my dive guide, Robbie, was fab. In fact all the guides were absolutely great. The food was the best I have had on a liveaboard, catering really well to veggies and vegans. All the food was tasty and plentiful. I really cannot say enough good things about this trip and fully intend to come back one day and do it all again!

I will do it again in the future
It was a fantastic experience. 14 people is ideal for solo travellers. The staff were super friendly, they took us to the best spots and they made everything so much fun! The atmosphere is ideal, you can socialise but you can also find quiet spots on the boat. Also, the boat is bigger than what it seems online.
