Komodo Live-Aboard

• Day One

We depart Bali from Denpasar Domestic Airport mid-morning and arrive at Labuanbajo on the island of Flores after an 90 minute flight.

Enroute we fly over the islands of the islands of Lombok, Sumbawa and the Komodo National Park. With great opportunities for photos.

On arrival in Labuanbajo, we are picked-up and transferred to our live-aboard vessel, where we stow gear and then depart with lunch on the way to our first dive site.

 <  Labuanbajo is the capital of the western province of the island of Flores. Its harbour is
the departure point for our Komodo Island's Dive Trips.

Our first dive will be a chance to get equipment set-up properly at a 'no-current site', and as an introduction to the area. Given the opportunity, we will have a second dive before settling on a location for our overnight anchorage.
Our first night is spent anchored among the islands of the Komodo National Park. We will use this first night to discuss any particular areas of underwater photography that you may be having difficulty with, or would like to improve on. Plus review photos from our first dive/s.
The overnight anchorage location is determined by prevailing weather conditions on the day, but we will be seeking out sheltered anchorages in quiet bays.

• Day's Two, Three and Four
  
  We move further into the Komodo National Park, where we will conduct dives suited to the divers onboard. The locations will be determined by sea conditions (currents, waves and underwater visibility) and the type of dives you would like to experience, as well as specific locations to see marine life that you are keen to photograph.
  While continuing our dives around the islands, each day tackling any issues you may have with your own underwater camera rig or with any aspect of your underwater photography. Evenings will be spent reviewing images and with round-table instruction on Adobe Photoshop techniques and tricks for editing your underwater photos. 
  
  <We will anchor overnight around Komodo Island in a quiet bay.

• Day's Five and Six
  
  If sea conditions are suitable, we move into the southern sections of Komodo National Park. In particular to Horseshoe Bay in the southern part of Rinca Island. This bay has been described as "perhaps the richest dive site on Earth" by well travelled divers.
  The waters are cooler here, but the nutrient rich upwellings from the Indian Ocean encourage the growth of corals and invertebrates in incredible proportions. Fish-life is nothing short of unbelievable.
  Dive Sites like Cannibal Rock, Yellow Wall and Torpedo Alley, will leave you with lasting impressions.

• Day Seven
  We spend the morning diving at sites around Rinca Island, moving north towards the National Park landing area at Loh Buoya. This has been the most productive site for us to see (close-up), the Komodo Dragons. We spend an hour or so in the afternoon walking through the light scrub, dry creek beds and hills of Rinca in search of Komodo Dragons and other wildlife like deer, monkeys, buffalo and birds. Giving good opportunities to photograph these rare creatures.

• Day Eight
  After an early breakfast, we travel north to Labuanbajo cruising among islands with spectacular views of the coast of Flores. At the port we unload our luggage and disembark. Then transfer to the Airport for our lunch time flight back to Denpasar domestic airport on Bali.
