Dragon Dive Komodo is well known for offering outstanding and affordable facilities, and high standards for safety and fun. And, their recently remodelled vessel, the Shenron, doesn't disappoint. This liveaboard provides adventurous open-cabin and chartered voyages throughout Komodo National Park, with a choice of four or five-night itineraries exploring the north and south of the park. Each trip includes excursions to visit the region's namesake Komodo dragons, plus optional island treks and access to all the best dive sites in the area. You'll have the opportunity to explore coral gardens, take on exhilarating drift dives, and visit bustling cleaning stations in search of manta rays.

At 24-metres long, this vessel is surprisingly spacious, offering roomy private cabins, and open common areas that are ideal for outgoing guests. With multiple areas for sun tanning, over-water catamaran nets, and an open-air dining room, you'll probably spend most of your time outdoors. But, there's plenty of room to relax below deck too, with a comfortable indoor lounge and restaurant area. After the diving day is done, get to know the other guests on board, compare the best photos of the day, or curl up with a good book. This boat’s relaxed and social atmosphere makes it easy to feel perfectly at home.  

Onboard Shenron

Completely refurbished in 2019, and again in 2022, the Shenron is one of Komodo's best-equipped affordable liveaboards. This boat's brand new amenities include modern facilities for scuba divers, a professional international crew, and a choice of accommodation including large above-deck cabins. Sleeping 12 guests in six cabin, the Shenron leaves plenty of space to spread out when you aren't diving. And, their sumptuous buffet-style meals and all-day snacks and drinks will satisfy even the hungriest of adventurers. You'll have plenty of space to rest and relax with bean bag chairs in the sun and shade, a generous indoor lounge, and an open-air dining room with panoramic views.
