Trip Report Bali-Komodo-Bali 12-21 August 2024

[jonesie71]

I went diving with 11 other dive buddies on Mermaid 1 liveaboard in 10-day round trip cruising from Bali to Komodo and back to Bali from 12 to 21 August 2024. We dove along the way to Komodo in Moyo, Satonda, West Sumbawa, Saleh Bay (for whalesharks), Banta, On the way back to Bali we dove in Sangeang and in Moyo.

Most of the trip detail info are provided in the trip video, below. I put together the video clips and photos in chronological order along with dive briefing map provided by Mermaid liveabiard. So you would be able to follow what we saw on any particular dive sites.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Doing this itinerary in July. Bit nervous about the crazy currents I'm hearing about. I've dived Maldives which was fairly intense.
How did you find the currents around Komodo?

About the same. If you can handle Maldives currents, you can do Komodo.
