I would second the comments from Benjamin after just coming back from almost identical itinerary. Bluemotion were pretty much the only operators while I was there and accommodation and boat were excellent. Dive sites mainly all walls, outstanding coral and smaller fish. Didn’t see much of any...
I did a 6D LB with UberScuba end of last November to the south and had a great time. Great weather and vis on all sites. I would agree that late Nov is budget friendly time to enjoy Komodo. I did RA in Jan 18 and the weather and vis on sites was comparable with Komodo in Nov for me, UberScuba...
Thanks for your review of Alor Divers, they sound like a good operation. Unfortunately they were fully booked the dates I could travel, so I’m heading to Banda Neira this Nov, Alor looks likely to be my next visit though.
Thanks matts
I have been to Raja Ampat on a LOB and would happily return. Just thought I try a different place.
Palau and Fiji are certainly places to look though, just wanted to try Indo again.
Thanks again for the info Bill.
I've had a look at N.Sulawesi, mainly on the back of comments on this board. I get the impression its best sites are mainly focused on muck diving and smaller critters, apologies if I'm mistaken on that. Whilst I have been growing to appreciate the appeal of the...
Thanks very much for your reply Bill. I was warned that the ferry was uncomfortable by someone I shared a with on a LOB. Can you remember how long it took? The dive guide on my RA LOB told me that the ferry can easily be delayed and cancelled and can be unreliable which would be a problem as I...
Hi
As title states I’m planning a trip for November and am looking for any suggestions/recommendations as to which to choose. I’ve done LOB in RA and Komodo over last couple of years but I’m looking at land based this time. Was told that it’s possible to see hammerheads around Banda Neira on day...
William said it would be March before they have liveabords planned. I’ve contacted UberScuba but it all depends on demand so I guess I’ve to see closer to the date
Thanks for your help and suggestions
So unfortunately Dragon Dive Komodo don’t have any liveabords planned for January due to weather. If there’s any other budget operators anyone can recommend please let me know.
Maybe a stay on Bali could suit the weather better?
Thanks
Hi
I appreciate January is generally rainy season, but wondered if anyone had any experience or could recommend any liveaboard operators please, ideally 4/5 days long, that run in January.
Many thanks
Hi
I’ve recently did a LOB on Raja Laut in Raja Ampat and enjoyed it. From chatting to the Cruise/Boat Director I found out it’s a boat that is now partly owned by a couple of parties. I booked through Emperor Divers and the boat was full, equipped, but with a newly hired chef and 2 newly...
