We have chartered a Phinisi Schooner for a series of underwater photo trips through the famed Komodo Islands in Indonesia this year. These trips are guided by Australian photo-journalist Jeff Mullins and his wife Dawn, who currently live in Bali.
These are dive trips for experienced divers with at least a basic understanding of Underwater Photography Principles. Jeff will be offering personal photo instruction, as well as some round-the table instruction/workshops between dives and in the evenings. We are maximising time at the areas peak photographic sites and there will be a maximum of 10 divers/photographers onboard, the size of the groups has been limited to offer the best in personal help with photography and to minimise the number of divers on each dive site at one time. We will be spending the entire trip duration around the Komodo Islands, unlike many trips that leave from Bali and take 2-3 days to arrive in Komodo.
We have two only places onboard one of these departures in September. The Details are:
* Depart Bali Sunday 14th September 10am flight to Flores (approx 1hour 30minutes flight time).
* Arrive Flores 11.30am and transfer direct to live-aboard (15 minutes drive from Airport).
* Pack luggage on boat and depart with lunch onboard, with first dive/s the same afternoon.
* 7 nights on live-aboard in air-conditioned twin cabin with ensuite, with all diving - two/three dives per day, (dependant on locations/depths).
* Daily photography help, informal photo workshops and image reviewing/editing in evenings.
* Three meals a day (plus snacks) on live-aboard, including coffee, tea, drinking water.
* One afternoon dedicated to searching (with a national park guide) for Komodo Dragons.
* Sunday 21st September morning transfer from live-aboard to Flores Airport.
* Depart midday Flores to Bali and arrive approx. midday at Domestic Airport on Bali (adjacent to International Airport - if you are transferring direct).
Cost of the trip including all of the above is US$1565 per person twin share (includes flight costs Bali-Flores-Bali. A deposit of US$500 per person is required by 31st July, balance due 30 days prior to trip departure.
The above cost does NOT include:
* Any rental diver equipment. (only tanks and weight belts are supplied - let us know prior if you need any equipment).
* Komodo National Park Fee's (approx US$30 per person, payable on departure from Labuanbajo)
* Airport departure taxes in Bali & Flores (approx. US$4 in total)
* Excess Baggage (25kgs per person is free).
* Alcohol & Soft Drinks. (Soft Drinks, Beer and limited wines/spirits will be available onboard, but are extra).
* Transfers to/from airport in Bali.
