“Seeing manta rays, Komodo dragons, amazing drift dives”
Man-Ting F, United Kingdom

Experience fantastic diving in Komodo aboard the budget-friendly Komodo Shalom liveaboard. The Komodo Shalom phinisi offers liveaboard dive trips from 3 to 6-nights where divers will get the chance to see anything from pygmy seahorses to large numbers of migrating manta rays. Diving in Komodo National Park offers something for everyone. 4 or 7-day itineraries are available, departing from Labuan Bajo on a Tuesday or Saturday. Once a month there is also a special dive trip that coincides with the full moon. The custom built dive platform with filling station offers easy access to the dive tenders for direct entry to the dive sites.

In between dives, guests have the chance to relax, go snorkelling in the calm bays or join a beach trip. Some trips also include a Dragon Trek to see the impressive Komodo Dragons.

Topside the Komodo Shalom caters to just 16 divers in 4 twin-berth cabins and 1 large eight-berth dorm. Each bed is designed as a 'pod' with the theme of 'personal privacy bunks'. All cabins are airconditioned with sea views, and each bunk has its own power outlet, reading light, security area and privacy curtain. There are 3 dedicated cabin bathrooms with hot water showers. Social areas include a large dining area, front shaded outdoor lounge and sun deck located on the roof.

The crew and guides have extensive experience in the area. Their main goal is that guests have a trip of a lifetime diving in Komodo! Call us or book online today to reserve your space.

The best liveaboard, run by locals
A full boat crews run by locals! The crews are all full with passion for the sport, and the community behind it. The "crew nanny" kept everyone well fed and hydrated, the "trip leader" kept everything well organized n solved all the problems that came up, the "dive guides" kept us informed of the finest details on the following dive sites and making sure everyone is having fun above and under water! All the dives guides have a very good understanding of the dive site, planned ahead according to the currents and their guest divers capabilities. If you are looking for some real authentic Indonesian experience, a true Labuan Bajo live-aboard, with world class service, this is it!

An ethical and affordable way to experience the biodiversity of Komodo National Park.
There were so many! From close encounters with manta and giant sting rays to diving with sharks, barracudas, tuna, and even a sea snake among other things, the diving opportunities offered by this liveaboard are unparalleled. At all times, the crew worked hard to take care of our needs and they deserve a huge shout out. All the dives were handled expertly, with good equipment and knowledgeable dive masters, and I felt very safe in their hands. An awesome experience!

Amazing staff, great food, awesome dives
Ricky was absolutely the best dive master. Overall the whole team was great. The boat was exactly what you see in the pictures. The food was really tasty. And the dives were well thought out and planned. The one critic I might add is the composition of the dive groups. Ask for more rotation right from the beginning, or you might end up diving with someone that is not at your level.

Awesome trip
I’ve been on 4 lives boards now, and this has been the best one. It’s advertised as a budget trip, but the boat is quite comfortable and the food is good. The dive masters and other crew were fantastic. The dive sites are some of the best in the world.
