Experience the magic of diving in Komodo aboard the budget-friendly Salakanagara liveaboard. Built in 2015 and upgraded in 2018, the Salakanagara phinisi offers liveaboard dive trips from 3 to 6-nights. From pygmy seahorses to large numbers of migrating manta rays, diving in Komodo National Park offers something for everyone. Itineraries are available as either 4-day or 7-day cruises 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 Salakanagara caters to just 14 divers in 4 twin-berth cabins and 1 six-berth cabin. Each bed is designed as a 'pod' and had its own power outlet, reading light, personal fan, security area and privacy curtain. There are 2 dedicated cabin bathroom and one dorm bathroom with freshwater showers. Social areas include 2 separate dining areas, a large 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.
