I had an amazing experience diving for three days with Scuba Republic at Komodo National Park.

The people that work here are absolutely amazing, very profesional and will make you feel like home from the moment you arrived into the school. Komodo is not always an easy area for diving but I felt very safe and looked after at every minute.

Boat and equipamient are in a very good condition, food at the boat is great and I have no words to describe how amazing the underwater world is here.

Thank you so much everybody! (:
 Will definetly be back!

Francisc from Scuba Republic was an amazing instructor. He showed us many fish &amp; marine life and gave amazing tours while diving.

During diving I had some problems equalizing (due to the cold and current) and Francisc very calmly helped me get the problem out of the way. When the currents became to strong, he helped me to swim against it. Absolutely amazing.

My last diving experience had made me a bit insecure about my diving and Francisc made me feel good again. I think making me feel good again was even better than the manta's we saw! So thank you Francisc! It's only a shame I followed you in Insta and you never followed me back... how am I going to get more followers!

We had amazing diving experience with Scuba Republic in Labuan Bajo. Staff - Shivaan, Annabelle and Rohek were incredible. 3 dives per day is a lot for normal OpenWater divers like us. But, their absolute pleasant personalities make everything a breeze. Gear is all top notch - AquaLung. Their large boat had plenty of room and bean bags on the deck to rest between dives.

Dive sites were phenomenal. Beauty of healthy reefs in Komodo Nationa Park was unmatched. Overall, highly recommend Scuba Republic for any kind of diving expeditions in the Komodo area. Ask for team above and you will be guaranteed of a delightful experience!

We had an amazing day trip with Scuba Republic. Did 3 dives in Komodo national park and saw turtles, manta rays and a frog fish along with much more. The boat and staff were fantastic with great food throughout the day. We were fortunate enough to have most of the boat to ourselves with only 2 other guests! There was also an accompanying small boat to pick us up from dive sites. Would thoroughly recommend this company for your dive trip.

The kind of experience that were supposed to be a discovery daytrip of scuba diving (for my side) and turned into Open Water and Advanced certification!

We extended our trip in Labuan Bajo last October with my boyfriend, because we both fell in love with the Komodo National Park!

I don't think I could have had a better first experience in scuba diving with my dive master, Shivaan. The best teacher, reliable, someone with whom you feel really more confident and relax under water.

Plus, comparing to the majority of diving school, no swimming pool where you learn the basics, but directly in the Ocean, in a 3-meter deep aquarium surrounded by green turtles!

Regarding the Open Water Certification, I learned all the theory directly on the app SSI, on the boat! I could even choose to pass the exam in French for a better understanding. Really the best conditions to study!

Between two sessions of snorkeling with a local expert, Chris, that showed me the shallow reef and its beautiful corals (even mantas and sharks!). The best snorkeling of my life!

The boat is also well designed with a special area to relax, enjoy coffee, breakfast and amazing lunch! Really an super nice crew that takes care of you and your equipment after the dive!

Moreover, I really liked that at the beginning of each day, the whole crew is presenting themselves. You knew the names of everyone there: from boat captain to dive masters in training! And there were one dive master per client, so you feel really safe diving!

I would definitely recommend Scuba Republic Komodo, especially for their environmental caring, they are really protecting the site with their rule of not touching marine life.

And what a marine life! I cannot remember how many mantas, sharks, turtles we saw! And I don't think you can see elsewhere such beautiful corals!

In definitive, GO FOR IT!

I visited a friend in Indonesia and she recommneded that we visit Labuan Bajo for diving since Komodo National Park is one of the most exciting places to dive at. Luckly she already had a friend being there working for scuba republic. Therefore we decided to take the chance and have an amazing two days of diving with them - and I could not have been any happier doing so!

We visited the most exciting dive sites possible and got to see one of the best and most beautiful marine life I've ever seen. The crew was super awesome! Big thanks to Edu, David, Eras, Sergio and the rest for an experience I will never forget!

I will be back some day fore sure!

Planned to do two days of diving with my girlfriend, ended up doing 3 full days in a row all with Scuba Republic. Great boat, great food and an amazing staff with a real team feeling. We saw the most amazing reefs with the most beautiful sea life. We highly recommend Scuba Republic

We had a lovely trip diving with Scuba Republic! So much fun and a lovely 3-dive day trip around komodo. The diving is truly amazing! They took us to some of the best spots around komodo! We saw manta, turtles, octopus, eagle rays, sharks and millions of fish and beautiful coral! Food on board was good - lunch was awesome, but breakfast could be better. Lovely trip overall! Would recommend for sure!

I booked 4 days on Jaya, and after the first night I extended to 7.

The ship is beautiful, comfortable and well kept, but most importantly - the crew is exceptional. They are welcoming, fun, and take such great care of the guests. Many of the crew have been working on Jaya for multiple years, which just speaks to what a positive environment it is.

The crew is very accommodating and truly care that everyone is happy. This was my first liveaboard, and I had only done 11 dives prior to this trip, but I felt completely safe and comfortable all week. The chef is also accommodating of all dietary needs and will make special meals for you if needed.

I absolutely recommend Scuba Republic and hope to be back on board Jaya in Raja Ampat as soon as possible!

We had 2 day trips with 3 dives each with Scuba Republic and it was everything we dreamt of! The staff was very professional and knew everything about the dive sites, the boat was great and the gear worked out fine. We felt safe and well taken care of. Highly recommended __________

I did the 4 days tour including a visit of Rinca island to see the Komodo dragons. I was on the boat called Jaya. The two dive guides Rachel and Erika have been super professional and very friendly. It was great fun with them and I always felt safe and good. The local staff was also very friendly and the cook did real magic in his small kitchen - awesome food!! I would highly recommend a trip with Jaya!

When I arrived at Labuan Bajo I knew that I wanted to do my Open Water Padi at Komodo. After the hostel receptionist advised me to go to scuba republic I did. When I arrived I was received very kindly and everything was arranged very easily so I could join the boat the next 2 days to do a total of 6 dives (all in the ocean).

My dive instructor Shivaan was very friendly and professional and made sure that everything went well. Before the first dive I got a small "dive-college" on the boat and we practiced the required skills there first as well before doing them in the water. The crew on the boat made sure that the atmosphere on the boat was really good. The two days of diving flew past real quick and the diving was amazing!

I would recommend everyone to go to scuba republic for all their diving needs around Komodo/Labuan Bajo.

My partner and I had a beautiful day, scuba diving and snorkeling at 3 different sites. The dive team and boat crew were all friendly, fun, professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with these guys.

If you plan to dive at Labuan Bajo, Scuba Republic is the place to go. They have a very professional team and highly experienced trainers. The boat that takes you to the diving points is very spacious and comfortable. The team is very friendly and will do its best to make sure that you have a great experience diving. Needless to say the sea life at Komodo is breath-taking (considered one of the best places to dive in the world). For my wife and I, diving with Scuba Republic was one of the best experiences in our entire Indonesia trip.
 Thank you very much Scuba Republic!!

We enjoyed a day with 3 dives in Komodo national park.
 The boat was big and confortable, with spaces for chilling and sun bathing after the dives. Also they give you a very tasty breakfast and lunch. Staff is very professional and friendly and they speak several languages. We recommended to dive with them!

As soon as I met the Scuba Republic team, I felt like being part of a family. Diving in Komodo is great, but diving with a team who's so welcoming, warm-hearted, hilarious, -and freaking geniuses-, made the mantas look almost insignifiant. Thank you a billion times... Until we meet again !
