科莫多海龙号船宿

Awesome crew, we had a great week! Only with the excursions we felt a bit rushed through. Thank you for everything!

Meals are served too quickly after the dives, we don't have time to rest or to share experience before eating. Tides are so unpredictable that the schedule changes all the time…

I went on a 7 day diving trip on the Komodo Sea Dragon boat. It was a very good experience, the cabins were superb with a balcony and had plenty of space for us three. I also did my PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification while on the boat. Jello was my instructor, who really put a lot of effort in my diving experience, so I would always feel safe, even in challenging situations like drift or depth diving. He also never got tired of emphasizing the importance of diver safety and 1-on-1 diving with me. The rest of the crew were really nice as well, so we always felt welcomed and cared for. Especially Alan was always so warm and welcoming.

Passamos uma semana no liveaboard Komodo Sea Dragon, do mesmo resort.
As instalações surpreenderam. O quarto era bem confortável, o ar condicionado funcionava muito bem, um banheiro individual para cada quarto atendia bem, e a cama era super confortável! Foram noites muuuito bem dormidas! É possível que os 2 ou 3 mergulhos diários tenham um pouco a ver com isso...rs Mas uma boa cama é fundamental para sustentar todos os mergulhos maravilhosos que fizemos ao longo da semana!
Havia a possibilidade de mergulhar uma 3ª ou ainda 4ª vez no dia, no caso os mergulhos noturnos, mas nós preferimos descansar a noite mesmo...rs
O esquema do liveaboard é muito bem organizado, com uma boa estrutura, e mergulhos bem seguros. Havia um dive master para cada 3 ou 4 pessoas, com grupos divididos de acordo com o nível e experiência de mergulhos. Um segundo barco menor acompanhava o barco principal, de onde saíamos para realizar os mergulhos.
Como a distância era bem grande para nós, que moramos no Brasil, aproveitamos a viagem para conhecer outros lugares e países ali próximos, portanto precisamos alugar quase todos os equipamentos para mergulhas.
Os equipamentos eram bons e funcionavam bem. Mas é necessário providenciarem mais wetsuits (o meu estava começando a rasgar) e coletes BCD em tamanhos menores, pois eu usei um de cada, e uma segunda pessoa que precisaria do colete também do tamanho menor, acabou tendo que usar um maior por não terem o suficiente... 
Outra observação válida seria um maior abastecimento do freezer com cervejas, pois a noite é um bom momento para relaxar e aproveitar as férias tomando uma cervejinha, e é fundamental que o estoque dure a semana inteira até a última noite.
Independente desses detalhes, super recomendo esse liveaboard! Foi uma experiência muito legal e especial, com direito a muitas mantas lindas e gigantes para nos encantar e receber!

It was a wonderful week of diving at around the Komodo National Park at this time. 
Scuba Jello (Cruise Director) and the boat crew made our experience sweeter for our time there and this is not our first time diving at Komodo. 

We really wanted to dive the South of Komodo for a long time and it was made happened by Jello's team during this trip. As season divers would know, the weather during this time will be rough however we felt very safe and comfortable on board. 

As for diving, we felt very safe diving with our guide Ronnie ensuring each one of us in the group have the full experience. The "dive centre" and compressor is on another boat called the Putra Sebayur which will tail the Komodo Sea Dragon everywhere it goes. There are pros and cons to have a separate "dive centre". Pros being less noise from the compressor during refilling tanks and also less mess around. Cons being getting in and out most of the time between the main boat and the "dive boat". 
Putra Sebayur is also equipped with sun deck on the second level and toilet facilities. 
Overall, there are more pros than cons. 

We were never hungry during the trip and the food selection was pretty good. The rooms are huge and very nicely designed with ample storage and we had a good sized balcony for our relax time. What I want to applaud is the toilet in the room and also public area. Usually there will always be toilet smell lingering during our LOB experience. I am so glad time time there were no awful smell at all. 

Everyone on board was always greeting us with smiles asking if we need anything else to make our stay more perfect. Briefing of the day's itinerary was clear, concise and very on schedule. 

We would definitely return the Komodo and stay on the Komodo Sea Dragon during another diving season. To Scuba Jello's team from the Captain to the Chef, please keep up the good work!

I had the chance to be on their liveaboard for a seven days. Amazing experience ! The whole crew was incredibly nice, helping you with whatever you needed at all times. The diving experience was amazing, we saw manta rays, sharks, turtles and so much more. The dive guides were always very careful about safety. They had also organized other activities such as short trekking to amazing viewpoints, and the view from the boat was stunning.
I would definitly recommand this liveaboard to any diver (experienced or less experienced) who whishes to spend a week around Komodo national park.

Magical diving experience with Komodo Sea dragon. 

Our cruise director is Jello and he’s wonderful !! His English is very good so no problem communicating with him. He’s very responsive and knowledgeable.

The dive sites were also amazing and the crews were so helpful and caring, they took care of me both in the water and out of water.

It was my first liveaboard and honestly I didn’t expect it to be this comfortable. The room was so nice and well-furnished, the food was so delicious. Just wow!!
