Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Komodo Sea Dragon Liveaboard review to help you choose the right liveaboard with confidence. As a qualified diving instructor and Advanced BSAC Diver with 500+ dives worldwide, I've helped countless divers pick their perfect liveaboard - whether it's your first time liveaboard or you're an experienced diver seeking your next adventure.

My diving experience spans cold-water UK drysuit dives, warm coral reefs in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and South Africa. As a former BSAC Diving Officer, I've led dive training and operations. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between. This hands-on experience means I know exactly what makes a great liveaboard experience.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

10000 stars out of 10. My first liveaboard. I came with 20 logged dives which was the bare minimum to join the trip. So I was concerned that I may cause inconvenience to any other guests on the boat. Jello, the dive master who was leading the group that I am, did a wonderful job making sure that I am safe and enjoying the life under water on every single dive. (Thank you so much, Jello) Besides the dives, the whole crew were more than what I could hope for - Caring, kind, lively. Always welcoming you when you return from divings. My room was always kept clean, the food was really nice ( I have dietary restrictions and I still felt really accommodated.) Each moment on Komodo Sea Dragon was beautiful and unforgettable.”

Recommended for: Professional guiding from Diving Master. Kind, Friendly and Caring crews. Good food and Music.
