I'm doing a Komodo LOB in mid-June 2023 and plan to stay a while after for more land-based diving. I've not done a lot around Alor so figure that would be a good base. We did a Komodo LOB ~10yrs ago, and twice been on LOB in Raja. I prefer Raja but our schedule means we are going in June. Looking at 1-2wks with a friend and then maybe I'll stay solo longer to dive a different area for a week or so. Since all the LOB's seem to stick to Komodo this would be land based.
Looking for mid-range budget. We are both experienced divers (400+) and have the DIVE DIVE DIVE mentality. Our LOB will only be 6N ~15 dives so we are going to eager to blow some bubbles.
Looking mostly at Alor as I think the area is diverse enough for over a week+ from one 'base', tho depending on options we could possibly check out two areas and I would like a 3rd place for myself (somewhere without a big supplement). I've also been to Bunaken, Lembeh, and Bali based diving a couple times so prefer to check out the farther east "non-Raja" places a bit more.
Thanks!
