The Komodo Dancer LiveAboard visits dive sites between Bali Indonesia and The Komodo National Park Indonesia, part of the Lesser Sunda Islands. Any time of the year this area of Indonesia offers good diving. Visibility may vary from season to season but 10 to 30 meters (35 to 100 ft.) can be expected at most dive sites.

Komodo Dancer offers 11 Day / 10 Night cruises featuring an enhanced itinerary that allows guests more time diving, more time in the signature area of the Komodo National Park.

Many of our guests are avid photographers who like nothing more than hunting out weird and wonderful critters on the reef and sand. As part of the newly expanded Komodo itinerary we have added two locations to the west of the Komodo National Park – Sangeang Indonesia, an island volcano to the north of East Sumbawa and Bima Bay Indonesia, an inlet that meanders down to Bima town on Sumbawa. There are two specific sites in both of these areas that are producing a dazzling array of rare creepy crawlies on a regular basis – “Estuary” on Sangeang and “Fuzzy Bottom” at the entrance to Bima Bay.

Vibrant local cultures, Komodo Dragons, colorful coral reefs and abundant marine life are perfectly paired with superior accommodations and a professional, attentive crew to make Indonesia and the Komodo Dancer LiveAboard the ideal choice for diving adventure in the Pacific.

Meet the Owners

We are happy to introduce the new owners of Komodo Dancer. Foo Fatt Chuen, Lim Chang Jiat and Evelyne Sim are from Malaysia and are all avid divers and passionate about underwater photography. The idea of acquiring a diving vessel came to mind when they did their first trip to the Komodo Islands in 2010. They didn't want to leave, as it was such an extraordinary experience underwater with the crystal clear visibility, colourful reefs and incredible marine biodiversity. They each left their hearts behind at the end of the trip and that is when they decided they needed to have a place and a reason to frequently come back to Komodo - hence the Komodo Dancer.

Foo Fatt Chuen, popularly known to friends as "Fudge", is an architect by profession. He has been diving for more than 20 years and is one of the rare divers holding only an open water certificate, but with 2000+ dives under his belt. Normally a man of few words, however, when it comes to diving and underwater photography, Fudge is like a child with a new toy and the joy in his face when he captures a good picture is absolutely contagious.

Lim Chang Jiat has been in the financial planning line for the past 9 years and found it was getting a little monotonous. When the opportunity to own a vessel came along, he excitingly seized it. Not only was the new venture about scuba diving, but he was also eager to embark on this new challenge of managing a liveaboard. Though having dived in many islands around South East Asia, he was absolutely stunned by what he saw while diving in Komodo National Park back in 2010.

Evelyne Sim studied law but chose to forgo being cooped up in an office cubicle for a more exciting world in customer relations. When Evelyne was offered an opportunity to be part owner of the Komodo Dancer, there was no turning back. There is no satisfaction like being passionate about your work, especially when your office is the Komodo National Park.

Looking forward, they would love to be able to share this veritable treasure that they have found with divers around the world. Never to rest on their laurels, they will continue to work hard and exceed guests' expectations.
