Stay at the Komodo archipelago for 7 days or explore more during the 11 night trip. Komodo is known for a variety of underwater landscapes and you have an excellent opportunity to discover all the best dive spots and enjoy this variety. Raja Ampat liveaboard diving is another amazing itinerary that is on the bucket list of many divers. You will not find such a great amount of underwater creatures anywhere else. Lots of big pelagics can be seen while diving in the Banda Sea.

When to Go
The is a high season for each itinerary. Aurora offers to dive at Komodo from May to September. Rich nutrient waters attract more fish at this time of the year. From November to April boat stays at Raja Ampat. And again blooming plankton brings more fish and mantas during these months. But the visibility can be not on the highest level. The water temperature is about 30C (86F). For the Banda Sea, the average water temperature ranges from 26C (78F) to 29C (84F). Aurora goes to the Alor in August and September when surface conditions are more settled

Unforgettable Diving Trip to the Misool Area
Our diving trip on Aurora to the Misool area in Raja Ampat was an unforgettable experience! The safety briefing was thorough, and the rescue exercise at the end increased our confidence in the dives. The dive guides were extremely professional, and our dive guide Hari did an excellent job, avoiding any potential currents and ensuring our safety. All dives were breathtaking, and getting in and out of the water was effortless. Nitrox was always available at 32%, which made the dives on Our Diving Trip to the Misool Area more enjoyable. The boat's sundeck was spacious and comfortable, with clean sunbeds for relaxation. The food was delicious, and the beer was cold, creating a pleasant atmosphere onboard. The crew did everything they could to create a friendly and relaxing environment, and it was great that the dive guides had the opportunity to mingle with the divers. Although the lounge area did not have public restrooms and our cabin was a bit far away, this did not detract from the quality of the experience. Our cabin was spacious with plenty of storage space, and the pillows and blankets were very comfortable. Overall, this diving trip was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in diving!
