“Sharks, manta rays and giant turtles to see in one place incredible”
Experience fantastic diving in Komodo aboard the budget-friendly Komodo Shalom liveaboard. The Komodo Shalom phinisi offers liveaboard dive trips from 3 to 6-nights where divers will get the chance to see anything from pygmy seahorses to large numbers of migrating manta rays. Diving in Komodo National Park offers something for everyone. 4 or 7-day itineraries are available, departing from Labuan Bajo on a Tuesday or Saturday. Once a month there is also a special dive trip that coincides with the full moon. The custom built dive platform with filling station offers easy access to the dive tenders for direct entry to the dive sites.
In between dives, guests have the chance to relax, go snorkelling in the calm bays or join a beach trip. Some trips also include a Dragon Trek to see the impressive Komodo Dragons.
Topside the Komodo Shalom caters to just 16 divers in 4 twin-berth cabins and 1 large eight-berth dorm. Each bed is designed as a 'pod' with the theme of 'personal privacy bunks'. All cabins are airconditioned with sea views, and each bunk has its own power outlet, reading light, security area and privacy curtain. There are 3 dedicated cabin bathrooms with hot water showers. Social areas include a large dining area, front shaded outdoor lounge and sun deck located on the roof.

Once in a lifetime experience, well worth every penny!
This was so worth every cent! We had 10 incredible dives through some of the most beaut sites in the world. We swam with mantas, sharks and turtles. The crew made us amazing meals and had very thorough breedings before each dive. We also had a beach clean up day which haven’t really good to help give back after seeing the pristine park! You will not regret! Marcel the cruise director went above and beyond to ensure sure we all felt safe, were comfortable and having fun!

Awesome trip
I’ve been on 4 lives boards now, and this has been the best one. It’s advertised as a budget trip, but the boat is quite comfortable and the food is good. The dive masters and other crew were fantastic. The dive sites are some of the best in the world.

A Great Week in Paradise.
The dive masters and boat crew are all locals. They were always friendly, cheerful, enthusiastic and helpful. They constantly stepped forward to help or sort things out. It is not an 'imported' Western crew and things were not always done the way some from the West expected. I liked the local feel. The food was very good given that a trip with Komodo Shalom is not an expensive one. There was a never ending supply of food and no-one went hungry. The food was mainly a western menu with plenty of local fruit. The diving was great. The dive masters knew the dive sites well and gave very good pre-dive briefings. Good coral, amazing experiences with the mantas, turtles, sharks, nudis, etc. The dive masters checked out the notorious currents and helped us navigate these safely. Visibility was not great - normal for this time of year I believe. The biggest downside for me was the boat itself was very tired, our cabin was basic, the bed too short for my 6 ft, and the petrol generator to power the air conditioners is noisy, close by and runs all night. We were told that we were the last tour before she is going for a 4 month refit. She needs it. Hopefully the Komodo Shalom will rise and shine again!

Best four days of my life
Seeing massive schools of fish getting eaten by larger fish such as tuna and giant trevali and black tip reef sharks at Castle Rock. Always seeing something new and cool at each of the dive sites because of the fantastic dive staff.
