You’ll be surrounded by huge schools of tuna, giant trevally and barracudas. Dive among manta rays and sharks. Experience thrilling drift dives. Photograph macro treasures such as frogfish, ghost pipefish and stargazers. Encounter dinosaur-like Komodo dragons. The latter is a dead giveaway for guessing which destination Aggressor has just added to its lineup of liveaboard locales—Komodo, Indonesia. The beautifully crafted Komodo Aggressor, a Pinisi-style sailing yacht, offers six different itineraries.

Amazing dives in Komodo and we didn't have to worry about anything, everything was taken care of by the crew. Such a relaxing trip that we will never forget.

The North Komodo seven-night itinerary cruises to Komodo National Park, including Banta Island, as well as hiking in Gili Lawa Darat and a guided walk to see Komodo dragons. Dive highlights include Castle Rock, Batu Bolong and K2.

The cruising grounds of the 10-night Komodo North and South trip includes Motang Island and Mola Straits—available in this itinerary only—north and south sides of the national park, Padar Island, West Flores, Rinca Island and the dragon walk. Dive site highlights include Lighthouse, Secret Garden and Rodeo Rock.

The 10-night Komodo and Sumbawa itinerary takes guests to the northern sites of the national park, Banta Island, Sangeang Volcano, Bima Bay, Satonda Island and Moyo Island. You’ll hike in Gili Lawa Darat and walk to see the Komodos. Some notable sites include Rollercoaster, Deep Purple and Crystal Rock.

The nine-night Alor trip puts you in the heart of Indonesia’s Lesser Sunda archipelago with its diverse range of sites from shallow coral gardens to dramatic drop-offs. You’ll also have a rich cultural experience visiting local villages. Dive site standouts include Yellow Corner, Pantar Wall and Reong Wall.

The 10-night Banda Sea journey takes you from Alor to Ambon, including the fascinating muck sites found off Ambon. You’ll experience Gunung Api, which is renowned for its active underwater volcano, and there’s the possibility you’ll encounter hammerhead sharks on this itinerary.

Finally, the 11-night Sulawesi North to Sea expedition unlocks all the secrets of this region, including the muck marvels in Lembeh Strait, the possibility of whale sharks off Gorontalo, whitetip, blacktip and grey reef shark encounters off Pulau Dua, and the remote Banggai Islands, where you’ll feel like the first divers on Earth.

No matter which itinerary you choose, you will experience a thrilling and rewarding dive vacation.
