We just got back from Komodo two weeks ago and I have waited to post because the diving was so fantastic I wanted it to sink in for a little while to best articulate...
We dived aboard DIVE KOMODO. Liveaboards and Day Dive Centre in Labuan Bajo, Flores, Indonesia.[/url] on the Embaku with dive master Herry and we had a crew of five wonderful gentlemen who made sure all of our dives were great, the food was great and that we were comfortable at every turn. This is an outstanding and fun crew!
Herry is an amazing dive master who really, really knows the Komodo dive sites and creatures. He has > 8,000 logged dives and has been working as a dive master in Papua, Irian Jaya, Egypt and other parts of Indonesia for 18 years. He brings great love for diving and the animals and great skill and knowledge to each dive.
He basically taught us how to dive the strong currents of Komodo and made it easy for us to see the best of that area.
We had eight knot drift dives, great wall dives, night dives and gentle sunlit shallow dives.
The visibility was often > 100ft. and bottom temperatures ranged 81-86 deg F.
I did 23 dives in six days and often came up from a dive thinking "that was the best dive ever!".
We had great shark encounters at Castle Rock and Manta encounters. We saw all sorts of nudies, giant clams, giant Napoleon wrass, bump-head parrot fish, bat fish, octopus, cuttle fish, eels, pygmy seahorse, mantas shrimp, sweet lips and so much amazingly beautiful hard and soft corals... most of which we saw on a daily basis.
After we dived Komodo we did two dives on Bali and it was nice but it just wasn't even close.
Although some of my dive buddies got caught in current and ended up in the blue, our tender Indra was always there for a swift pickup. I never got nervous in Komodo waters as the creatures there are so beautiful and benign. The whole area is just so magical!
Thank you divekomodo.com and crew of Embaku for a great dive adventure and lifetime memory!!!
