South Komodo - Padar & Manta Alley
(15 dives)

Day 1
We start our adventure with a relaxing dive at Sebayur Kecil, where vibrant reefs and welcoming fish greet you in Komodo’s underwater wonderland. Next, we head to Mawan, a lovely sandy slope that often turns into a playground for graceful manta rays. Once the sun goes down, it's time to gear up for a night dive at Padar Kecil. It’s a completely different experience down there when the reef comes alive at night, imagine hunting lionfish, sleeping parrotfish, and glowing plankton.

Day 2
Kick off your day at Colleen Corner, a vibrant spot brimming with life and the perfect opportunity to catch a glimpse of passing pelagics. Next, we’re heading to one of Komodo’s must-see spots: Manta Alley! Enjoy the sight of mantas gracefully gliding above cleaning stations, often just inches away from your mask. After lunch, take a leisurely stroll along Loh Sera Ridge, a charming spot featuring stunning corals, impressive reef formations, and that delightful “hidden gem” vibe. And just when you think the day’s over, we dive again, a night dive at Loh Sera, where nudibranchs, octopus, and all things weird and wonderful come out to play.

Day 3
We're off to the south-central sites, beginning with The Needle, a beautiful pinnacle that's surrounded by swirling schools of fish and lovely soft coral gardens. Then glide along End of the Wall, where vertical drop-offs and sea fans create a picture-perfect scene at every turn. After a relaxing dive at Secret Garden, filled with macro critters and serene reef vibes, we’ll make our way to Padar Island for a lovely sunset hike. 

Day 4
Starting the day with Komodo Island exploration alongside real Komodo dragons on their beautiful island. After that exciting land adventure, we dive right into the fun underwater. First stop: Batu Bolong, a magnificent reef teeming with life, sharks, turtles, anthias, you name it. Next, we head north to dive at Crystal Rock, known for its currents and exciting pelagic activity. If you enjoy thrilling drifts, The Cauldron (Shotgun) is coming up next! We’ll glide through a narrow channel, spotting batfish, and perhaps even some mantas along the way.

Day 5
We finish our adventure with two of North Komodo’s treasures. First, Castle Rock is where the excitement begins as soon as you arrive, schools of trevallies, hunting jacks, and the possibility of big surprises await you. Finally, we made one last dive at Tatawa Kecil, a laid-back, coral-filled reef where turtles gracefully swim by and soft corals dance in the current.

    I had the absolute best time ever

    The service from the Scuba Republic team was exceptional – everything ran so smoothly from the moment we stepped into the shop. The boat Bajak was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room in the cabins. The crew were not only extremely professional but also made the trip so much fun. And the food… every meal felt like dining in a 5-star restaurant. To everyone at Scuba Republic and aboard the Bajak, thank you for an incredible experience. I will be back for more!

    Lovely atmosphere and excellent services!

    One for the books! The minute you step on Bajak, you feel right at home. Yunus as Course Director was def made for this! The food is delicious and varied as well for vegetarians! The diving itself is top class, and we were very happy with our guide, Engel, for our total of 12 dives. Fian provided the best vibes, picking us up or bringing us safely to the dive sites, special shout-out to him and his fun energy!

    - Elisa from Germany -

  • The best things we have experienced

    The whole experience from start until finish is 10/10. Everyone is doing their best to make this as good as possible for the guests. The guides are doing their best to find all the good stuff. The dives was everything between super calm and stronger currents. Everything outside of the diving was also top.Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

  • A person scuba diving underwater with a white oxygen tank, black wetsuit, mask, and fins, swimming in the deep blue ocean.

    I had the best time with Scuba Republic!

    Having travelled from Gili T to experience the incredible diving I had been told about in Komodo, I was excited to get onto the liveaboard and spend 4 days out in the national park. The boat was fantastic, with comfortable sleeping, lots of rest spaces, a welcoming crew, and delicious food! My divemaster was incredible. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Once we finished the liveaboard, we decided we had so much fun that we decided to get straight on the next one.

    Discover the craziest underwater wildlife

    Traveling on a liveaboard made me discover the craziest underwater wildlife I’ve ever seen! Surrounded by huge mantas, seeing so many fish that I could not even mention which ones, sharks, turtles, and so many more animals, that this place made me love it so bad, I will have to come back soon!

    - Felip from Spain -

  • A scuba diver underwater wearing a black wetsuit, mask, and breathing apparatus, making a hand gesture and smiling.

    Every day was an adventure

    Diving with Scuba Republic is one of the best experiences of my life! As a dive instructor, I can be quite peculiar about safety and professionalism. The team at Scuba Republic excels at both while making sure you have the time of your life. Every day was an adventure.

    The boat is comfy and equipped with everything you might need. My only regret is not being able to do another liveaboard straight after. But I will be back for sure!! A special thanks to Yunus, he and the team made this the best dive trip 💙

    - Sergi from Spain -

  • A young woman sitting cross-legged on a boat, smiling while holding a bowl and spoon, with a green hillside in the background and a mug on the wooden surface beside her.

    An amazing experience

    My first liveaboard and an amazing experience! The crew was all incredible: keeping the boat clean and tidy, cooking delicious food, prepping the equipment, bringing energy and vibes, and (most importantly) keeping us safe during the dives. The diving was diverse and incredible, the guides adapted to all levels of the group and the conditions to get the most out of it. I loved it so much, I did a second trip right after! The boat is not overly luxurious, but that's what makes it special and creates a convivial atmosphere 🫶

    - Gwen from UK -

  • A scuba diver underwater waving at the camera, wearing a yellow mask and gear, surrounded by deep blue water with bubbles around.

    The best experience!

    Every crew member always had a smile on their face and made the whole trip truly unforgettable! I was a pretty new diver when I started the trip but my dive guide made sure I was completely comfortable the whole time and helped me improve my diving throughout the trip. So glad I booked this liveaboard!

  • Close-up of a scuba diver swimming underwater with bubbles above his head, wearing a black wetsuit, mask, and breathing apparatus, with a dark underwater background.

    These guys live and breathe scuba diving

    From their amazing staff who take care of your every need, to the dive guides who are on another level, these guys live and breathe scuba diving. They strike the perfect balance between fun and professionalism. Yano (my dive guide) can spot a nudibranch from a mile away and always manage to find the most incredible marine life. I enjoyed everything they served.

    - Diego from Mexico -

  • A woman scuba diving underwater, wearing a mask, regulator, and wetsuit, reaching out with her hand.

    A diving cruise that ticks all the boxes!

    Unforgettable moments, a warm and friendly atmosphere, incredible dive sites, and underwater encounters that will remain etched in my memory. A divine chef! This cruise was a treat from start to finish! Both fun and safe! People who are passionate about marine life. I highly recommend it if you want to have an incredible cruise and make unforgettable memories.
