Sleeping on Komodo Diving Liveaboard

Depend on the class of the liveaboard, you might have a private cabin for two people (just like in a hotel), or getting a dorm-cabin that you’ll share with 2-6 other passengers. Eating and taking baths would be entirely done in the liveaboard. Just consider the liveaboard as your floating dive-dorm!
Having 3 – 5 Dives per Day
On a non-diving liveaboard, you might have a chance of one to two dives per day, combined with trips to other destinations. But in diving-exclusive liveaboard, the chance of diving definitely get larger. You could have at least three dives a day if you want to have some island excursion as well. They could even arrange 5 dives per day, including the night dives, if you want it to be exclusively dive trip. This gives you time to visit more unpopular sites, which means more little-touched reefs and less crowds around. As diving liveaboard trips tend to last from 3 days to a week, it’ll give you a bunch of rich experience in just short time!
