Day 1:
Meet & greet at the airport. Group transfer to the port. Onboarding, meeting the crew & briefing. After lunch we will do our check dive where guests and guides can get used to each other. We are planning a night dive after the sunset. We will stay at Sebayur for the night.

If you don’t fancy night dives, then we recommend a nice sunset walk up the hill. 

Day 3:
We will wake up early to make our way towards the northern most part of the National Park. Castle Rock is an underwater pinnacle and often subject to vari- ous currents. This is usually one of the highlights or the trip and we are likely to see some sharks here. Our second dive will be at Crystal Rock, a beautifully covered formation. In the afternoon we will dive the Cauldron, a channel between the island of Gili Lawa Darat and Gili Lawa Laut. We will stay overnight in North Komodo with a night dive at Gili Lawa Darat. 

Day 4:
Another exciting day today as we start today at the Golden Passage, another channel between Komodo and Gili Lawa Darat. We'll stay in the northern area of Komodo and explore the treasures underwater. Up to 4 dives.

Day 5:
We head over towards the island Banta. This island is usually really empty. No other boats around yet it offers amazing wall dives and a relaxed bay for staying overnight. If we are lucky enough and the conditions are right we see schools of hammerheads here. 

Day 6:
We continue the journey north west to the active volcano island of Sangeang. The slopes of the island are covered with corals par excellence. This is great to find also the rare critters here. Usually we'll spend the day 2-3 dives here and head back to Banta for the night. 

Day 7:
In the morning the might be the chance to make another dive in the rarely dived area off Banta. You'll love the topography of the dive sites here. Then we head down the western side of Komodo. 

Day 8:
We'll arrive in the southern part of the Komodo. Prepare yourself a bit for more colder and nutritious rich waters. Visibility is not always great but expect one can expect a plethora of manta rays. 

Day 9:
For our way back we are stopping at the island of Padar. There are great underwater pinnacles and rocks that are beautiful to dive at. Can be a challenge and we need to see how the tides are. Also on the last day of diving visit Rinca for some trekking to see the Komodo dragons if we haven't done so during the entire trip. Very often dragons are being seen at various beaches even in the western side of Komodo. For the last dives there are sites closer to Rinca well known for some muck dives or another coral wall dive close by. Overnights we are going closer to the island of Rinca. 

Day 10:
