Land based komodo w/ fast boat

[hedonist222]

Hello everyone,

Planning a trip to Bali & Komodo in November.

Will land in Denpasar at 11:30 am. Looking to catch the 2 or 3 PM flight to Labuan Bajo.
I would like a land based resort and dive center with fast boats.
Any suggestions other than Blue Marlin?
It appears Blue Marlin doesn't do night dives?
I'm amenable to stay as far away as one hour from the Labuan Bajo airport.

After 5 days, I'll return to Tulamben for 4-5 days of diving.

Thank you.

I have found that so far there are two fast-boat dive centers in Labuan Bajo. Blue Marlin and Sea Creatures.

night dives aren't allowed within the NP, there are a handful of sites outside that can be used but due to distance, it would be tough for a land based dive shop to pull it off so its pretty much only liveaboards that do it.
