Komodo National can be dived almost all year long although conditions are not optimal from December to March.
Lots of people are asking us when is the best time to dive Komodo. Wallacea Dive Cruise liveaboards visit Komodo National park during the dry season only - June to October. Not only this is the best season to encounter schools of Manta Rays in several spots like the notorious world-class "Manta Alley" in the South part of Komodo island, but also schools of hundreds of Cownose rays and so many more rare species. The landscape is also breath-taking during the dry season.
The national park of Komodo Islands offers the liveaboard diver just about every type of tropical scuba diving imaginable - from warm, calm, and colourful shallow reefs alive with hundreds of reef fishes and invertebrates to current exposed seamount with chasing pelagic.
Komodo National Park offers the full range of subjects to underwater photographers: from small critters to manta rays and even whales sharks. Prepare your lenses, you will use them all! The park contains a variety of marine ecosystems, including fringing and patch coral reefs, mangrove forests, seagrass beds, and seamounts.
Choosing between macro and wide-angle is not always easy in Komodo because they are subjects for both on most of dives. Talk with our dive team for the best advice , depending on currents and dive configuration they will tell you what’s the best choice.
The Komodo landscape is a true jewel and a subject itself. You will be able to photograph some wildlife, the famous Komodo dragons, sea eagles, and probably some deers, wild pigs and monkeys on the beach of south Rinca.
