Each morning, the professional and experienced crew head out to the western fringes of Komodo National Park. Expect thrilling drift dives and schooling pelagics around Gili Banta, where several species of sharks and rays are often seen. The hard and soft coral reef structures include residents such as mandarin fish, bumblebee shrimp, colourful fish and turtles.
