Komodo Indo Aggressor | Indonesia Liveaboard | Komodo Diving

Komodo is one of Indonesia's most famous islands with the great Komodo Dragon being one if the island's most well known inhabitants. Yet there is so much more to Komodo and divers should certainly take notice of this archipelago. Indonesia is recognised as having one of the most biologically diverse marinescapes and Komodo is certainly no exception. Team this with the Komodo Indo Aggressor, a modern and simply luxurious liveaboard from the world respected Aggressor Fleet, and you have a recipe for your dream diving holiday.

The Komodo Indo Aggressor sleeps only 16 divers which means there is plenty of space for everyone, no matter how much dive kit you bring! Three different cabin options mean you can select the right choice for your budget, but everyone shares the same lavish living space and dive deck. As part of the Aggressor standard, you will be woken up each morning with a coffee in your cabin, warm towels after each dive, a proper sit down dinner each night and refreshing drinks from the bar. Food onboard is international with some local dishes for sampling. Komodo Indo Aggressor is fully equipped for photographers and an onboard computer means you can check your day's efforts.

Komodo Indo Aggressor operates 2 different itineraries so you can visit every inch of this enticing Region. The marine life is hugely varied but always impressive. Focusing on macro life and the joys of muck diving, Komodo specialises in those weird and wonderful critters that can only be found on the black sand. Frogfish, Snake eels, Dragonets, Candy Crabs - these are just a small sample of what lies beneath the aquamarine waves. Seahorses, Nudibranch and no less that 5 types of Octopus then follow. Each dive sees a new strange and rare Beastie. This is macro diving at its zenith but larger fish are not overlooked. The steep walls and drop offs are also home to Whales, Tuna, Sharks, Manta and Dolphin. There is almost nothing you can't find with the Komodo Indo Aggressor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Location

Indonesia is around 15-20 hours flight from the UK and is made up of around 19 000 islands. It is the largest archipelago in the world straddling the Equator, between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Most travellers will enter Indonesia through Jakarta (CGK), Bali (DPS) or Manado (MDC) airports. This is the stuff of divers' dreams. This exotic nation is the very definition of bio diversity. Find the big fish in Komodo, Raja Ampat or Kalimantan. Drift lazily along the walls of Bunaken and Wakatobi, watching turtles on coral drenched walls. While away the hours hunting for miniscule macro in Bali, Lembeh or Ambon. Cannot decide? Why not combine two locations into a single trip!

Weather and Climate

Indonesia is a vast country, and the weather can be hugely variable. The topography means that weather patterns can be very localised. This is the tropics! For Bali, Komodo & Wakatobi the weather is usually best from April - November, with July and August being some of the best months to visit. Between December and March the conditions can be a bit stormy. November to April is also the wettest month to visit Bunaken, Lembeh and Kalimantan but to a lesser degree than in other locations. October to April is historically the most popular time to dive in Raja Ampat.

What happens when I arrive?

On arrival in your Indonesia destination, you will need to clear immigration and collect your baggage. You will then be met outside of arrivals by a representative from your liveaboard or resort.
