World famous underwater cinematographer Valerie Taylor on Komodo . . .

Indonesia has the richest most diverse marine environment in the world and Komodo's protected waters, with their brilliant colors, clouds of exotic fish, and spectacular scenery are unparalleled. After a lifetime of leading dive expeditions I believe Komodo Marine Park has more to offer the diver than any other single location. The marine biodiversity to be found in this small region is possibly the greatest in the world.

Join a live-aboard for an unforgettable adventure, diving and exploring the spectacular environment of the Komodo World Heritage area. Or join a day boat for daily trips exploring and diving Komodo.

Enjoy the unique culture of the region, the magnificent landscape to share what we love about this part of the world. Fishermen selling pearls from flimsy canoes, the deserted pink sand beaches, calm waters, and of course the dragons ever present in the surrounding mountains.

Our first Komodo dive was in 1973 off the Pink Sand Beach. I will never forget the excitement I felt as I drifted down into that virgin wonderland of color and action.
Great schools of fish swirled through the water, brilliant corals and ascidians festooned the walls, the songs of whales filled our ears. We knew then we had found a very special place.” - Valerie Taylor.
