Why Komodo
Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s best diving destinations. Although the town of Labuan Bajo can now be reached by direct international flights and has developed quite rapidly over the last few years, the dive sites in the national park have kept their natural and wild character and still offer truly special diving. From beautiful coral reefs and exciting drift dives to encounters with manta rays and reef sharks, Komodo offers it all.
Komodo has a growing community of dive professionals and travelers from around the world. You’ll meet other divemasters, instructors, and like-minded people during your IDC, creating friendships and connections that last beyond the course. The dive industry in Komodo is growing rapidly, with many dive centers and liveaboards operating in the area. This opens up great job opportunities after you complete your IDC.
