“Best crew ever, best staff ever!”
Luiz Gustavo D, Brazil

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.

Best four days of my life
Seeing massive schools of fish getting eaten by larger fish such as tuna and giant trevali and black tip reef sharks at Castle Rock. Always seeing something new and cool at each of the dive sites because of the fantastic dive staff.

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.
