Question 1

How many divers per dive guide?

Accepted Answer

Diving groups are kept small for safety and a more personalized experience. One certified dive guide or instructor is usually assigned to a group of four or five divers. Where feasible, divers are grouped by skill level, not combining experienced divers with beginners. The guides and instructors maintain their training and certifications up to date, and only local experts who are based in Labuan Bajo are employed. Freelance guides are not used, and hence the guests always use the same guide for their activity to enhance safety, reliability, and enjoyment

Question 4

What is the best time to visit Komodo Island?

Accepted Answer

The ideal time to visit Komodo Island varies according to your activities. The dry season, April to October, is ideal for diving, snorkeling, and wildlife spotting. This period provides calm seas, sunny skies, and excellent visibility, perfect for manta ray, shark, and coral reef sightings. July and August are high seasons with more visitors and higher prices for accommodations.

Travelers seeking fewer crowds and lush green landscapes might prefer visiting during the rainy season, from November to March. While some boat tours may be limited by rough seas, particularly in January and February, this period offers better chances of spotting Komodo dragons. Manta rays are often seen in large numbers between December and February, and September to November provides incredible underwater biodiversity.
For the best general experience with favorable weather, good diving conditions, and fewer visitors, April to June and September to November are the ideal time frames
