Komodo & Nusa Penida combo - Indonesia Diving Holiday

Indonesia is frequently voted the world's best dive destination, and once you've made one visit you will be sure to see why, and we bet it won't be your last!

With over 17,500 individual islands the allure of Indonesia has captivated explorers and adventurers such as Alfred Wallace and Jacques Cousteau for centuries.

Indonesia lies in the heart of the coral triangle, the most bio-diverse area on the planet. With deep sea trenches, sea mounts, active volcanoes and the Indonesian Throughflow current this is one outstanding dive destination. From the smallest pygmy seahorses and bizarre looking nudibranchs to the large and majestic manta rays and mola-molas, there is something to entertain every type of diver. It is also home to the largest manta ray sanctuary in the world, with manta rays being protected in the whole of Indonesia!

Scuba Junkie offers you the chance to combine two amazing Indonesian dive destinations in one holiday with the Komodo & Nusa Penida combo.

Why visit Komodo National Park?

Often referred to as the gem of Indonesia, the Komodo National Park is a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the seven new natural wonders of the world - meaning your trip is sure to be stunning out of the water too! Our spacious day trip boats allow you to soak up the sun whilst taking in the breathtaking scenery and our fun, professional and experienced crew will ensure you have the diving experience of a life time. From exhilarating drifts to fascinating muck dives, the only problem you will face is which lens to use on your camera!

We see manta rays thoughout the year, in addition to all manner of sharks, turtles, fantastic coral and an abundance of schooling fish. The diving here is mind-blowing all year round, but where we predominantly dive varies throughout the year. 
From March - September the conditions favour the North of the National Park, and from October to February they favour the South. The centre of the park we dive all year round. No matter where we go you will be sure to encounter an incredibly diverse array of marine life and rare species from the beautiful to the bizarre.

Our secluded resort, surrounded by nature, is closer to the dive sites and away from the crowds and noise of Labuan Bajo. Our beach front restaurant and bar faces the stunning sunsets over the park and we have plenty of hammocks for you to relax and enjoy the incredible views from the resort. Although we recommend you dive every day, there are some lovely walks around the resort if you do decide to rest.

Why visit the Nusa Penida Marine Protected Area?

On the edge of the Lombok strait the nutrient rich waters here bring weird and wonderful megafauna all year round. Manta rays call the South of Penida their home throughout the year, plus the world's largest bony fish - mola / sunfish (Mola alexandrini) visit from the depths in the colder water season from June to November. Turtles and reef sharks can be seen throughout the year, plus whale sharks, thresher sharks and wobbegongs are also regularly seen. For those who love the macro life there are many nudibranch and crustacean species as well as cephalopods to keep you challenged.

Let's not forget about the exhilarating currents! Whether you're an experienced current afficionado or new to drift diving, we can guide you on some super fun dive adventures.

With an amazing, rugged coastline and a very spiritual history, this chilled out and laid back island has lots to offer on land as well. Think temples, spectacular view points, natural infinity pools and secret beaches... Adventures await both underwater and on land.
