komodo LOB trip - how advanced do you need to be?

[billt4sf]

Do a week of diving in Bali with a good shop. Better still get a drift speciality course while there. After a week diving around nusa penida, you will be good to go for komodo.

Yes, depending on the person.

A 100 dives is good enough as long as you know how to be careful. I went to Komodo the 1st time with around the same experience level and went back again last year.

My personal feeling is that the number of dives is not that relavent. Enjoyable diving with moderate currents (my caveat) depends on a good cruise director and dive guide(s), a good attitude and calmness underwater, and following simple instructions. Divers with 10-15 dives will be fine in current-rich Komodo, with a good guide, timing the dives correctly, and staying close to the guide.
