I plan to go to Komodo in May of 2019. I can't decide between the Empress II and Mikumba Ratu Laut (when I go, they will have their new boat in the water).
Mikumba offers a longer trip but they only have air. This means more dives but possibly shorter ones...
I talked to the owner and he assured be they set it up so we will get a good surface interval where it wouldn't matter too much. We're looking at 1195USD for 7 days and 6 nights.
The Empress has nitrox but only has 5 days and 4 nights for 750USD. I'm trying to see right now if they can extend this.
Mikumba seems to have lots of really good reviews. Empress does to but not as many reviews...

Empress seems to be a little nicer in terms of accommodations but I'm a young lad and I dont care so mucha bout luxury as long as the place isn't a filthy dump.
