Manta Ray Research on our Komodo Liveaboard

During the months of July and August we conduct Manta Ray research tours. These trips focus on the dive sites where we encounter Manta Rays most frequently – There all our guests and staff document the encounters, through photo and video and we collect all our data on the encounters – adding these to a global database of encounters. This database helps track that actual numbers of Mantas as well as their migratory pattern and is used to help CITES and other organizations in thier research. In addition we have lectures and presentations about Manta Rays. Each guest will also get a unique Manta Ray/Eco-diver certification for joining these trips. When joining these trips you not only contribute to the increasing awareness of these species – but also contributing directly to conservation efforts. These special trips depart every Friday in July and August and are only $1,250 per person

Komodo Liveaboard Diving

The diving in Komodo is considered among the best in the world, with its remote location, vibrant reefs and incredible marine life – Komodo diving is a truly memorable experience. The Islands may seem barren and brown due to the infrequent rains and unique micro-climate. With the famous Komodo Dragons roaming the beaches many people already know these islands already, but don’t overlook the 150+ species of birds, Buffalo, Monkeys, pigs and dozens more species.

Under the water, guests on our 6 Day Komodo Liveaboard may experience passing pelagics like Manta Rays and Sharks, amazing critters and a rich diversity of marine life. At some of the Komodo dive sites, the currents can be challenging, the water can vary from warm to quite cool and even the waves and surface currents can make these dive sites seem daunting – but it is definitely worth it. For these reasons, please chose a reputable dive operator with an eye to safety and sensible diving.
There was some damage to the reefs from dynamite fishing in years long past, but as the Komodo National Park was established and rules enforced, the reefs have recovered and conditions are good bordering on great. The Komodo National Park is often held up as a role model of Responsible tourism practices. the fees you pay for entrance to the Komodo Park all contribute to the protection and maintenance of the park.
