First time poster here. I'm planning to go Komodo too and from reading experienced divers sharing on Scubaboard and Reddit, it seems LOBs that cover the south Komodo, in addition to north and central, is the way to go. South Komodo faces the open ocean and has some great dive sites.
I actually also have another question I'd like to piggyback on- if budget is a moderate concern for me, should I wait until prices drop to book the LOB? I'm looking at Jun 20' and prices are significantly higher than Jun 19', where some of the more reputable operators still have vacancy.
