Somer Dive
Somer Dive Komodo started out as Komodo Enterprise in 2013 a small company that rents diving and snorkeling equipment. As the business grew, in 2017 they decided to start a dive center in Labuan Bajo offering scuba diving day trips, budget liveaboard and PADI courses in the Komodo National Park area and around. The company is locally owned and run by experienced international and local dive professionals.

My friend recommended Somerdive to me, kept telling how great the diving sites and how comfortable the boat is. Last week, finally, I went diving with them for 4 days, and quickly realized why my friends kept persisting me to choose Somerdive. The experience is just amazing. The Boat is simply the most comfortable, the food is delicious, and Matteo and Corina took me to the best dive experience i ve ever been. I think Somerdive have the best service, from Norman, the manager, to the crew in the boat. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. I will definitely come back!

I joined the discovery scuba diving (DSD) one day trip and was super satisfied! I have done the uncertified scuba diving on several other occasions & places before and this one was undoubtedly one of the best!
Huuuuge thanks go to the instructor Irwan who is absolutely amazing, experienced, has a very pleasant personality and I felt totally in good hands with him. He explained us everything in a very nice way and was assuring all the time when being under the water that we all feel good and helped us to overcome all our doubts/fears.
We were in a small group of three people for DSD, maximum is 4.
There are 2 dives in the standard DSD package (one of them being the introductory dive) and you can buy an extra one for a decent money if you want to.
Irwan was very flexible with this, it was not any problem to add it on spot.
The Somer Dive uses great big wooden boat, there is everything you need (even a fresh water shower) and the crew was very helpful and attentive all the time, especially when getting to/from the water.
The diving sights were amazing, but that is what you expect from Komodo.
Same as other diving companies, Somer also rotates the locations, so if you want to join them another day again, most probably you end up getting to different spots than previously.
It was a wonderful experience, thank you very much! Regret not having extra day in Labuan Bajo to be able to join the other day again :)
All the best,
Ivana & Martin

I recently got my AOW in Labuan Bajo. Picking a dive center was a bit of a challenge due to the high competition in the area. I spent days getting information via emails and making a decision based on that. In the end, I went to few dive shops and let my intuition speak. Once I got into Somerdive, I knew I was in the right place.
I was very thrilled with getting my AOW since it has been nearly a year since I last dived. My instructor, Matteo, was someone very professional, encouraging and incredibly nice. I knew I could trust him with my life for the next couple of days.
Regarding the boat, it was well-equipped and very comfortable. Delicious food and snacks on board. Crew members were very dedicated to do their best for their customers and we were all very pleased. Same thing for other divemasters and instructors on the boat, they created an enjoyable atmosphere.
I would definitely come back and do fun dives with them!
If you ever consider getting your AOW certification, I would totally recommend this place!

All in all, I dived 7 days with Somer Dive. I felt very welcome and confortable, and the whole team is great as they all have beautiful characters and always like to have a talk and fun with their guests and try to make them as happy as possible.
Somer Dive has a great dayboat and very good and experienced staff. They do everything to keep the guests save all the time, with proper equipment, very good breefings (boat and dives) and also whilst diving.
For me it was also very important to see that the diveguides really respect nature and underwaterworld and they care a lot about how to meet (and how to NOT meet) this beautiful underwater-creatures- they always make sure to keep a respectful distance to them.
Most of my dives I did with Corina, and I want to say thanks to her, as I had great, safe and stunning dives and with her!
I highly recommend Somer Dive for a great experience and a very familiar environment! Thank you all so much- you made my time and my dives on Komodo unforgettable!

I went diving with Somer dive together with another American diver in Flores, Indonesia in May 2019, and it was an awesome unforgettable trip. Firstly the owner offered me great discount (cheaper than all other dive centers you can find on street). Secondly since only 2 divers onboard, we thought we are taking on a private trip with plenty of ship space, food and care. The ship is new and the food cooked by the crew are fantastic. We went to 3 dive sites, namely Siaba besar, Manta Point and Batu Bolong. Our Italian instructor is very experienced. He did thorough briefing to us regrading to current, dive plan and safety features before every dive (especially I am not a pro diver). The dive sites are da best and highly recommend. We managed to catch manta twice, saw 2 sharks and many turtles, witnessed countless fishes and beautiful coral. Overall I recommend you to take Somer Dive !
