Diving in these areas is often undertaken in remote locations. Some of the dives can be quite challenging, suiting only more experienced divers in exciting, bizarre and unpredictable currents. Liveaboard diving does not get more adventurous than this!
Liveaboards diving to and from Bali
Eastwards from Bali, a string of picturesque islands stretch east towards Komodo, offering a wealth of different dive sites to choose from as you dive your way to or from Komodo National Park. Lombok, Gili Islands, Sumbawa, Moyo, Satonda and Sangeang are the main land masses, with numerous other islets.
This group of islands further east are surprisingly dry, looking more like parched grassland on steep volcanic formed slopes than the expected lush green tropics, unless visiting during the more rainy season (winter months), This area is truly a YEAR ROUND diving destination, with itineraries and dive sites tailored to the prevailing weather conditions. If the liveaboards operate there year round, you know it is good!
Liveaboards with itineraries encompassing Bali and Komodo National Park: Mermaid I, Mermaid II, Indo Aggressor and the Indo Siren.
How do I get there?
The best gateway is via Bali’s Denpasar airport.
Boat and itinerary dependant, an internal flight from/to Bali from/to Bima (Sumbawa Island), Labuan Bajo or Maumere (Flores Island) may be required. Overnights prior and after the boat are usually required due to flight schedules, plus Regaldive always advise to have some slack in an itinerary in case of internal flight delays.
Liveaboard diving in Komodo, Flores & Alor
Komodo: Officially declared a World Heritage Site in 1986, the Komodo National Park (Komodo, Rinca and Padar Islands) is the largest protected marine zone on the planet. The variety of islands within the park, combined with the current, wave and wind exposure have resulted in an incredible diversity of coastal and marine habitats.
Underwater, strong currents and deep upwelling’s transport nutrient-rich waters throughout the area, which supports a cornucopia of life. Mangrove forests, sea grass beds and pristine coral reefs define the main habitats within the borders of the park. Dive sites vary from walls and coral gardens to pinnacles, drop offs and quiet bays that are ideal for macro lovers seeking rarely seen species.
So far over 1000 fish species, 260 reef building coral species and 70 sponge species have been recorded in the Komodo National Park, with a particularly high number of organ pipe coral, which accounts for the famous pink sand beaches. Turtles and marine mammals frequent Komodo's waters along with whales and mantas that are occasionally seen migrating through the park.
The park is also home to many rare and endemic land species including a population of the world's largest lizard, the Komodo Dragons. Most of Regaldive’s cruises covering the park incorporate an island visit to see these interesting reptiles in their natural environment.
Flores and Alor: The currents that flow through the straits which connect the Banda and Savu seas create thrilling drift dives that attract large animals such as whales, tuna, sharks (including hammerheads), giant groupers, eagle and manta rays, napoleon wrasse, schools of big eye jacks, mola-mola, and other pelagic fish. In the Pantar strait between Alor and Pantar pilot-whales and dolphins are common as they pass between the islands during their seasonal migration to the Pacific Ocean.

Liveaboard diving in Manado, Sulawesi
Manado lies at the Northern tip of Sulawesi, located in a bay and surrounded by a dramatic volcanic landscape. Manado is host to some of the finest diving in South East Asia.
Divers will experience everything from the smallest pygmy seahorses and nudibranchs, to eagle rays, orcas and pilot whales. Manado is an idyllic, tranquil diving destination with an outstanding and celebrated bio-diversity.
There is said to be a greater variety of marine life in the seas off North Sulawesi than anywhere else on the planet and outstanding diving is available year round. The area is a centre of marine bio diversity and is home to many unusual species, ranging from prehistoric fish like coelacanth through to some recognised household names like reef sharks and the eagle ray.

This remote island southeast of Indonesia is surrounded by the Timor and Banda Seas. Timor-Leste offers divers many different sites with diverse topography and an array of marine life in this little explored area. Pristine corals, sandy muck diving slopes and off shore pinnacles await the adventurous diver.
Timor-Leste, once governed by Indonesia, has a tumultuous history with a strong influence from the Portuguese, which remains one of this small nation's official languages. The young nation is made up of the eastern half of Timor island, Atauro island to the north and the tiny island of Jako, yet despite being an island nation does not have a strong fishing background.
*Timor-Leste is an independent state and not part of Indonesia. However, for sake of geographic proximity and ease of operation, Regaldive currently incorporate the country under this area as the region slowly grows its diving potential.
How do I get there?
The best gateway is via Bali’s Denpasar airport.
An internal flight from/to Bali into Dili, Timor-Leste is required, with daily flights available. There is also a flight from Singapore on an Air Timor charter, but we recommend the route via Bali.

Indo Siren was Just Luxury - We had so Many Favourite Memories
"Everything was even better than expected. The transfers and ground arrangements worked like clockwork and we were taken care of at each stage. It was a very tiring journey and the 8 hour stop at Dubai outbound was hard so it was good to be able to freshen up when we reached Jakarta at the hotel and we were met promptly on arrival and well taken care of at each stage.
The Indo Siren was just luxury and the cabin was spacious and well equipped. The food was fabulous with a great variety. I am a vegetarian and was very well catered for. Yup, we ate too much as you do on these holidays and the crew made sure we were never hungry with snacks, cakes, nachos and more. It was so nice to be treated special too as repeat guests on the siren fleet and we each received gifts which was very unexpected. The deck had a music system which was great for relaxing to in between dives and into the evening.
The dives were varied and the cruise director, Luke, was the best lead we have ever had on a liveaboard. He catered for the variety of interests on the boat from macro to pelagics and ensured each dive was going to be well worth it for his guests. Mediocre is not in his vocabulary and he did an awesome job. He was very clear about any currents we would encounter and if they were going to be small, medium or strong. We had amazing dives and our dive guide, Yadi, was awesome finding the tiniest of creatures to placing us where the action was with schools of fish all around. A great itinerary with a great mix of dive sites (which I am sure was down to Luke accommodating all his guests interests).
All staff on the boat worked so hard to ensure we had an amazing experience. We wanted for nothing. We were picked up promptly from the dives by Beng Beng or a Smiling Suki and then were welcomed back on the boat by Jousef with a huge smile and a 'Welcome Back' promptly followed by Jo with a hot cup of chocolate or a cold juice. Towels were at the ready and the crew set to work helping us out of our equipment and then filling our tanks for the next dive. All we had to do was shower off and then back to relaxing and reviewing our fabulous dive. In the evening Yadi and some of the crew entertained some of us at the front of the boat by playing some music and it was the perfect way to wind down in the evening. I've mentioned Luke already but feel he deserves a special mention as he is an exceptional Cruise Director. He worked tirelessly to ensure the vessel ran what seemed like effortlessly and we very personable to his guests and we thoroughly enjoyed his company.
We had so many favourite memories from the holiday. I think taking time out to climb up the cliff at Waiag to see a panoramic view of the area and then finding our crew had organised a beach party for our return with drinks, snacks and music before we headed back to the boat. Magic! But we had whales, manta, mobula rays, sharks, dolphins and sargassum frogfish pass by the boat on the surface which i had never expected and the delights below the surface were too many to cover. Whales..I mean whales surfacing right next to the boat...awesome!
We are very happy with Regaldive’s services and once again the trip went like clockwork and we didn't have to worry about a thing...it was all taken care of. An amazing trip.
Thanks for organising such a fabulous holiday and we are so looking forward to the next."

We Spotted a Mola-Mola Which even the Dive Guides Had Never Seen
"Overall, the trip was great. The Cruise Director and many of the crew were those on the boat when I went on the Raja Ampat cruise, so it was like being amongst old friends. As usual and as expected, the crew were very good and the boat was well run. Nothing was to much trouble for them and always cheerful. The high quality of the service started when we arrived at Bima airport where we were met in the arrivals hall by the crew from the boat. They recovered the luggage from the reclaim and dealt with the entry formalities. All we had to do was get in the car. The food on the boat (and there was plenty of it) was very good and always plenty of drinks and snacks available to help yourself to.
As for the diving, unfortunately I was unable to dive on two days due to an eye problem but that is just one of those things. However, the diving was very good and we spotted a Mola-Mola which even the dive guides had never seen before. There were plenty of Mantas and sharks etc and very beautiful reefs. There is also plenty of the macro stuff if that is to your liking. At times the currents were a bit strong but the guides gave very good advice and led the dives very well and, as a consequence, the currents were not a problem, although not to be recommended for inexperienced divers.
We had some interesting island excursions, including one to Komodo island and close encounters with Komodo Dragons. Weather was sunny, very hot and we only had a few minutes rain on one day.
Water temperatures varied between 21 and 27, but we were advised before each dive of the temperatures likely to be encountered, so we could wear appropriate wet suits etc.
Transportation to and from Indonesia was okay, but for the 7 hour la-over at Denpasar on the return. Also, the Solaris Hotel on the outward trip was a little too basic.
All the guests had a good time without exception, although two of the guests did not have the appropriate skills or experience to properly cope with the rather challenging diving we sometimes faced. A great bonus for me was being allocated a cabin on sole occupancy. In all, a good trip and I am glad I went.
In conclusion I would say that Komodo is worth the visit and certainly I would always choose the Indo Siren, as for me it ticks all the boxes for a good liveaboard diving holiday. Presumably all the other Siren boats operate in the same manner so would be a good choice of boat in any of the locations where they operate."
