ABOUT THIS LIVEABOARD
Aboard the Indonesian Aggressor, your eight-day and seven-night itinerary will encompass the whole of the Komodo National Park.
Embarking and disembarking in Labuan Bajo, the diving is focused on diving South Komodo National Park where we will cover Padar Island, Langkoi, Horseshoe Bay, South West Flores, Mota Island and the Mola Straits (The channel between Rinca Island and Flores). The Komodo National Park is a World Heritage-listed National Park, which means there is an abundance of life above and below.
On this trip you can see Manta Rays in Makassar Reef and in Manta Alley, beautiful soft corals, schooling fish like jacks, Eagle Rays, Nurse Sharks, White Tip Sharks and of course where this is a diverse and beautiful range of soft corals, good macro life (muck diving).

Guests are also suggested to bring reef hooks for use at some dive spots and Dive computers are mandatory. Tender diving is the rule rather than the exception.

Enjoy fresh water showers on the back deck after your dives and dry off with a warm towel. All diving onboard the Indo Aggressor should be within the limits and standards of the training agency that certified you. All dives should be planned no-decompression dives.
