Good to know
How strong is the current?
Komodo has some of the strongest, most exhilarating current diving on earth. With 60 dives, an AOW card and drift experience you'll love it; without them it can be overwhelming — so we verify before confirming.
Is the southern water cold?
Southern sites can drop to 22–24°C. A 5 mm wetsuit (or more) is recommended; we'll send a packing list.
Do we really see Komodo dragons?
Yes — a ranger-guided dragon walk on Rinca or Komodo is included.
