Komodo Liveaboard Sunk?

[DevonDiver]

I've heard an unconfirmed report that the Blue Dragon liveaboard, operating in Komodo, Indonesia has sunk.

Can anyone confirm or deny? Any details?

A friend's status on Facebook. It's very unofficial...

Two Injured as Tourist Dive Boat Sinks off Komodo

Seems like it's confirm, it's their newer vessel Blue Dragon 2. Hope everyone is safe in this sad incident.

How on earth does a boat hit a reef and then sink into 300 METERS of water? Pinnacle?

Was wondering why Blue Dragon sounded so familiar... Just realised we have 2 dive buddies onboard - 1 is back to KL (he managed to grab his waist pouch & passport), while the other is still in Bali... Really glad all are saved & safe!

Would be interesting to hear a first-hand account. Ask him to post!

Volcanic islands. Wide fringing coral reef, ending with sheer drop wall.

Amazing dives
