Join renowned underwater photographer Nigel Marsh and a small group of like-minded photographers for an unforgettable liveaboard adventure through Indonesia's spectacular Komodo National Park. Aboard the traditional Indonesian phinisi Sea Safari VI, you'll spend seven days exploring one of the world's most celebrated diving destinations, with up to four dives a day across the park's legendary northern, central and southern dive sites.

About Komodo

Komodo offers an incredible variety of underwater experiences. Drift through fish-filled channels, explore colourful coral gardens, dive dramatic pinnacles swept by nutrient-rich currents, and encounter everything from tiny pygmy seahorses and nudibranchs to turtles, reef sharks, giant trevally and schooling barracuda.

Manta rays are a highlight, with several dives planned at sites renowned for regular encounters with these graceful giants, while iconic locations such as Batu Bolong, Castle Rock, Crystal Rock and Manta Point are among Indonesia's most iconic dive sites.

The itinerary also includes a guided walk on Komodo Island to see the world's largest lizard in its natural habitat, adding an unforgettable topside experience to an already exceptional week.

About Sea Safari VI

Sea Safari VI is a beautifully crafted 36-metre traditional Indonesian phinisi, accommodating just 20 guests in 10 air-conditioned ensuite cabins. Purpose-built for dive expeditions, she features a spacious dive deck, dedicated camera facilities, comfortable indoor and outdoor lounges, a sun deck and Jacuzzi—providing the perfect place to relax, review images and enjoy the spectacular scenery between dives.
