Scuba divers assemeble

[Freeflaw 0]

So...heading out to Indonesia for some diving. Looking for a good diving forum to mine. Posting on scubaboard.com. So far Raja ampat and Manado are on the list. Have about 12 days. Flying out from Jakarta. Not sure where to fly into. Suggestions appreciated.

Go to Komodo! I did a liveabord on the Mona Lisa, wich is a 30m boat operated by Komodo Tours if I remember well. I've heard good comments from wicked diving too.

In 5 days you have enough time to do all the nicest divesites. You dive 4 times a day, including a night dive.

Some of the most amazing diving I've ever done. There is everything you could wish for, from manta rays (tons of them!) to sharks, turtles, cuttle fish, amazing coral formations, excellent visibility, unreal amount of sea life, and all the weird fish you normally only see in books.

Only a few places in the world compare to Komodo, and all of them are way, way more expensive. I don't know a single person who said they had better diving anywhere else.

Best would be to fly into Bali, then take a regional flight to Labuan Bajo, where you will find all the dive shops operating in Komodo.

Hope this helps!

My next scuba gear purchase, besides a new set of fins since I lost ONE of my favorite fins on the USS Spiegel Grove a couple of months ago, will be a GoPro.

People I know think it's scary down there and I'd love to show them it's beautiful and it's not shark attacks around every corner!!
