KOMODO LIVEABOARDS
Komodo is best explored by liveaboard
Spread across a dramatic mix of islands and channels, Komodo National Park is one of the richest marine environments in the world. Coral reefs, seamounts, mangroves and sheltered bays come together below the surface, with Komodo dragons completing the experience on land.
And we’re proud to say that we have a wonderful team who knows these waters inside and out. They’ll guide you to the very best diving, while making sure you have a great time onboard too.

Diving Experience
Some of Indonesia's most exciting diving
From thrilling drift dives and manta encounters to colourful reefs and sheltered bays, Komodo offers extraordinary variety. Our liveaboards let you experience the best of this remarkable marine environment.
Small groups, better diving
We believe great diving is about quality, not crowds. With a maximum of 4 guests per guide, you'll enjoy more personal attention, relaxed dives and time to appreciate everything around you.
Experienced Guides, safe diving
Komodo's powerful tides and changing currents demand experience and careful planning. Our guides know how timing, conditions and dive site selection work together to create safe, enjoyable dives.
Responsible diving, done with care
We care deeply about the ocean and the communities we visit. We minimise our impact wherever possible, operate responsibly and prioritise fresh, locally sourced food when available.
Limited Access. Plan Ahead.
Komodo National Park now limits access to just 1,000 visitors per day. This has changed how trips to Komodo need to be planned.
If you have specific dates in mind, we strongly recommend booking early to ensure your place.
When you travel with us, we secure all required park permits before departure, so everything is in place before your trip begins.
Dates & Prices
Secure your cabin with a 50% deposit. Final payment is due 30 days before departure.

Marine life in Komodo
Komodo’s waters are part of the Coral Triangle, known as the most biodiverse marine region in the world. During your dives you may encounter:
Big marine life: manta rays, reef sharks, turtles, napoleon wrasse, and dolphins.
Schooling fish: fusiliers, trevally, snappers, and barracudas.
Macro life: nudibranchs, pygmy seahorses, frogfish, and shrimps.
Healthy corals: hard and soft corals bursting with color and life.
Every dive is a new adventure, with both pelagic action and intricate reef details waiting to be discovered.
If a liveaboard doesn’t fit your plans, we also offers daily dive trips in Komodo!

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!

What a unique experience with Scuba Republic! I was on the Capoeng liveaboard for 3 days and 2 nights. The entire crew was so welcoming and friendly. A big thank you goes especially to our two guides, Yano and Archie. They are absolutely professional guides who gave us the best possible experience you can have on the Komodos. We really saw everything we wanted to see. On top of that, they are so nice personalities. It felt like we had been friends for years. The entire trip was the perfect mix of diving and relaxing. A big compliment also goes to the kitchen! The food was so varied and made with love. I can only recommend this experience to everyone. Hope to see you soon again ❤️

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.
Bajak 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 -

We had an amazing 3D/2N liveaboard through north and central Komodo with the Capoeng boat! The boat was brand new, so it was super exciting to be some of the first divers onboard. We were blown away with the knowledge of the dive guides (Yano and Jo) and the hospitality of the boat crew. Komodo National Park is already a beauty underwater, but the experience onboard Capoeng with delicious meals, spontaneous sunset hikes, and incredible dives made the experience unforgettable!
