The Komodo Sea Dragon is a 38mtr/125ft long liveaboard in Indonesia. It is accompanied by a smaller, 18mtr/59ft long boat designed to keep all the dive gear and the compressor, as well as take the divers directly to the best sites. Aboard the main vessel, guest cabins are located on the upper and main decks, with plenty of natural light and breathtaking ocean views. There are 8 sun loungers on the upper deck, as well as a relaxation area that can be converted into an outdoor dining area. The bar, library and audio/video entertainment are in the air-conditioned lounge, by the outdoor bar, all located on the main deck.
The Komodo Sea Dragon’s 7 days/6 nights itinerary takes guests to some of the best spots in Indonesia, where guests have the chance to see amazing marine life and the legendary Komodo dragon. The adventure starts on Padar Island, for diving and snorkeling around the beautiful reefs. From there, the boat will move on to South Komodo, where guests will explore more of the amazing underwater world. The last stop on the itinerary is Komodo Island, home to the famous Komodo dragons. Here, guests will have the chance to see these impressive creatures up close.

Wonderful experience with excellent crew
It was a wonderful trip, the ship is very spacious with nice and comfy ambience, the crew were wonderful and took great care of us. The food offered a nice variety of local and international dishes. Diving took place from the seperate dive boat which makes it extremely convenient just keeping all gear available there. The dive guide and crew had outstanding experience, knew what to do and we always felt comfortable. Detailled dive briefings were held so we were aware of what to expect, especially for more challenging sites. Changing wheather was considered and plans adapted always with focus on ensuring a great experience for the passengers. Overall diving was outstanding with our guide pointing out plenty of things to see, no matter if tiny critter of the manta right behind you :) Also the excursions to the islands to see the Komodo Dragons and enjoy the views were great! The overall experience was superb and we will definitely come back for more!

An unforgettable experience on the Komodo Dragon!
I had a wonderful time on a dive safari aboard the beautiful, comfortable, and cozy Komodo Dragon. This was only my second liveaboard, and as a relatively inexperienced diver traveling with a group of female friends, I was naturally worried that our skills might not be enough for Komodo’s waters. However, the crew and dive guides went above and beyond to make us feel safe while ensuring we enjoyed the incredible marine life. Our guide, Fandi, was very attentive; he showed us so many interesting creatures and paid close attention to our gear. All our dives—even those with currents—were comfortable and smooth. We were lucky enough to see mantas at almost every site. The coral gardens are breathtaking; I’ve never seen such a variety of healthy, pristine corals, even in the Maldives or the Red Sea. The boat itself is spacious and clean. The cabins have everything you need and are cleaned daily—and I have to say, the shampoo and conditioner provided were the best I’ve ever used! The chefs also deserve a special mention. Every day we enjoyed a fresh, delicious à la carte menu; we definitely never went hungry! On our first day, Jello gave a very thorough briefing covering everything from boat layout and daily routines to emergency procedures and safety. It was the most detailed briefing I’ve ever heard. We were quite lucky to have only five people on board. Our boat was one of the first boats allowed out of port after a month-long break due to bad weather, so we had almost every dive site to ourselves—an incredible stroke of luck since famous spots are usually crowded. The weather was perfect for all five days: not a single cloud or drop of rain. A huge thank you to the team. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for great diving in a fun, safe, and pleasant atmosphere!

Wonderful adventure
The team of the komodo sea dragon was super nice, fun and very concerned about the guests and their safety. The nature and diving sites are just incredible. While diving in komodo is not easy all the time, the crew did their best so everybody was safe at all times. I would love to do that trip again.

Perfect Liveaboard
Best Liveaboard, period. The food was incredible with many options for fish, meats, vegetarian options, deserts, always delicious and available multiple times per day. The boat itself was great and the rooms are very spacious and cleaned daily. The DM's were great. Ray, Fandi and Jello always made sure we had detailed briefings before each dive and stayed close during changing and challenging currents. They were great at spotting very small, hard to find things (Pygmy Seahorse, Cuddlefish, Rhinopia, Nudibranch's, etc). With a 4 to 1 diver to DM ratio, the diving was very personalized. The diving was unbelievable and the sites were choosen perfectly based on time of day, tides, currents, etc. The donni boat (Putra) was great because we had plenty of space to gear up, unlike a small cramped dingi, and a full size sturdy ladder for easy exits. I'm telling you, the entire trip was flawless, great food, great staff (extremely attentive), great diving, great DM's, great rooms, cant imagine anything negative to say. Even the Nitrox tanks were perfect on every single dive with zero deviation on mixtures. If you're considering a Komodo Liveaboard, I would strongly encourage you to book with Komodo Sea Dragon. You will LOVE the entire experience, from beginning to end, perfect execution.

Changing Current
Overall, very good liveaboard experience - we are lucky to make some wonderful people new acquaintances. Crew were fantastic, chief DM is very entertaining and kept emphasize the importance of safety so although we were challenged with changing currents at certain sites, we knew we were in good hands and boats are nearby. I would not benchmark my scale of 1-10 current with the DM - different metric! Lol.

Phenomenal liveaboard experience
Incredible all around experience. The setup is a luxurious, recently renovated traditional vessel with a separate dive boat plus a dingy. This was very nice when preparing for and returning from dives, and snorkelers could take the dingy to good spots without compromising dive site selection; the con was that currents in the south prevented us from going to pink beach and southern dive sites because the separate dive boat couldn’t handle it. The crew service was incredible and the food was very good. We were all too tired to drink much but the wine on the final night was pretty good. Dive experience was great, including site selection, rentals and briefings; however, I am pretty risk averse but I felt our dive guide was excessively conservative, as my team ended most dives with 70+ bar each and we never hit 1 hour, and it was difficult due to language barrier to understand why we were cutting dives short. There were a few other communication issues as well that were each too minor to elaborate here. Overall would definitely recommend. For context if you are debating price vs value and comfort vs diving tradeoffs, this is AOW only and we all felt appropriately challenged and all the passengers were working professionals in their 30s and up.
