As a family with an eleven year old who past his Junior Open Water PADI, due in no small part to some outstanding nurturing support from Ben at OrcaNation - Komodo, we cannot rate these guys too highly! We were accommodated no matter what problem we threw at them. They took us to see some fantastic dive sites. The equipment was brand new and of very high quality. This is a tremendously professional outfit, who instill enormous confidence, leaving you to enjoy the thrill of diving in the pristine Komodo National Park! Highly recommended.

Thanks to Ben and the team based at Ayana resort in Labuan Bajo! We had two great dives after not having been in the water for a couple of years and he was very helpful and patient. The diving itself was beautiful with too many turtles to count. We would highly recommend.

We had an incredible time diving with Orcanation at Komodo in Indonesia. Everyone we worked with were helpful, flexible and very nice. They helped us plan our schedule so we could see the different dive sites (we did about 10 dives with them). The boats are right there at the Ayana Hotel at the end of the pier. The fast boat made it easy and comfortable. All the equipment was always onboard and in excellent condition (we rented our equipment from them). The guides were amazing - especially Eco and Benny who dove with us daily. They would point out things as they saw them. Even though it was off season for Mantas, we managed to see several on our last dive. A truly good company. I also appreciated how they accommodated us. My friend has a bad back and they always helped her with getting the equipment on at the edge of the boat and off in the water - never any attitude or impatience (which we have had at other places). I highly recommend diving with this team at Orcanation - Komodo

We had 9 dives with OrcaNation - Komodo (Labuan Bajo) over 4 days. We were over the moon with the quality of the diving. So many different species and corals and to top it off a Manta experience. This is a very professional operation led by Kev and Simone with support from Ben, Kayo and Benny, world class. All the diving kit was first rate. The boat, the food and the crew were also great. And they organised the Komodo Dragon experience as well. All in all our expectations were exceeded. Very highly recommended.

We stayed at the Ayana during our honeymoon and we wanted to go out and dive Komodo during our stay. Having the dive shop in the property was super convenient. We had 2 dive instructors plus a dive master in training for the 2 of us. One of the guys had a fabulous underwater camera and was able to get pictures of us with a sea turtle, lionfish and a giant napoleon. The currents in Komodo can be very strong but OrcaNation was aware of the situation and chose spots to dive that had excellent visibility and tons of marine life. The rental equipment was some of the best I have gotten to use.
