The diving

Central and north Komodo in five days. Batu Bolong and Tatawa for coral and fish, Castle Rock and Crystal Rock for schooling fish and the odd pelagic, the Cauldron for a fast drift, and Mawan and Manta Point for mantas. Mantas are regular at both, but they are wild animals and never a certainty. Siaba Besar, known as Turtle Town, comes on day one.

Conditions

Late November and early December is the start of the wet season in Komodo. Expect water around 27 to 29C, some afternoon rain and visibility of 10 to 25 metres. Peak season is over, so there are fewer boats at the big sites.

Lotus asks for Open Water or equivalent and at least 6 logged dives. Some sites run strong currents, so Advanced divers will get the most out of the north.

Day by day

• Day 1. Board at the Lotus office in Labuan Bajo at 10:30am. Check dive at Sebayur Kecil, then Siaba Besar (Turtle Town). 2 dives.
• Day 2. Batu Bolong, Mawan and Tatawa Kecil, then an optional night dive or a sunset beach stop. 3 to 4 dives.
• Day 3. North Komodo: the Cauldron (Shotgun) drift, Castle Rock and Crystal Rock, with an optional night dive. 3 to 4 dives.
• Day 4. Early walk on Rinca to see the Komodo dragons (or a muck dive at Wainilu instead), then Police Corner and Manta Point. 2 to 3 dives.
• Day 5. Batu Bolong again if the group wants it, Tatawa Besar and Siaba Kecil. 3 dives.
• Day 6. Two morning dives, then back to Labuan Bajo around 3pm. 2 dives.

Lotus’s own sample itinerary. Sites and their order change with weather and current, and the guides decide on the day. You dive on the last morning, so book your flight out for the next day: you need 18 hours between your last dive and take-off.
