Asmara is much more than just the name of our daily diving boat in Komodo. In Indonesian, Bahasa as the locals call it, Asmara means “love,” and that’s exactly how we feel about our work. This 18-meter boat has been designed specifically for diver comfort and safety so that you can enjoy the best Komodo tours. It was constructed by a fantastic team of local woodworkers (including our captain, Basir!) and you will see the love and care that they put into every detail. The boat is set up for a total of 14 divers plus staff and crew. You will be safe from the elements in our comfortable, enclosed cabin where coffee/tea are always available. On the roof, you will be able to take in the views of the Komodo National Park while lounging either in the sun or under the shade structure. Remember to bring coral safe sunscreen or we have local, sustainable sunscreen available for purchase in our shop. We also want you to experience a more environmentally friendly and responsible way of diving. The ocean and its health is our business so you won’t find single-use plastics anywhere on our boat or in our shop. We also offer vegetarian food as our primary meal option on our day trips in order to lower our environmental impact (other dietary needs can be met). Our goal in teaching is to transform you into a better and more conscious diver, always with safety as a priority.
