The Ultimate Dive Trip of 2026
Join Bucket List Diver for an unforgettable 6-day, 5-night journey into the heart of the Coral Triangle. Komodo National Park is a world of breathtaking contrasts, from powerful currents and thrilling drift dives to serene coral gardens teeming with life. We will be experiencing it all from the comfort of the Neomi, a vessel that redefines liveaboard luxury.
Your trip leader, Kate, personally vetted this entire operation in July 2025 and was blown away by the service, the boat, the food, and the incredible diving. She’s thrilled to guide you through this Jurassic world of manta rays, sharks, vibrant reefs, and, of course, the legendary Komodo dragons.
A World of Underwater Wonders
Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site for a reason. Its nutrient-rich waters, fed by powerful currents, create one of the most dynamic and biodiverse marine ecosystems on the planet. Every dive offers a new adventure, with a staggering variety of marine life to encounter.
Majestic Manta Rays
Witness squadrons of reef mantas gracefully gliding through cleaning stations in a truly unforgettable spectacle.
Thriving Shark Populations
Encounter white-tip and black-tip reef sharks patrolling the reefs, with chances to see grey reef sharks in the blue.
Pristine Coral Gardens
Explore vast, vibrant hard and soft coral gardens teeming with thousands of colourful reef fish.
Action-Packed Drifts
Fly along underwater channels with huge schools of giant trevally, barracuda, and fusiliers.
Incredible Macro Life
For the keen-eyed, there are pygmy seahorses, flamboyant cuttlefish, and a huge variety of nudibranchs.
Turtles Everywhere
Sea turtles are a common sight throughout the park, often found munching on coral or cruising by in the current.
