The budget liveaboard Nusa Tara offers dive trips to Grand Komodo where nutrient rich currents feed vibrant corals, schooling fish and large pelagics
The traditional wooden phinisi - Nusa Tara is perfect for budget minded groups of 6 Dive Safari Adventurers to Grand Komodo. This comfortable liveaboard takes Divers above water for shore excursions to witness the ancient Komodo Dragon, and below water where Divers will be astounded at the water clarity, biodiversity, large pelagics and vibrant reefs. Year-round diving takes place in famous sites such as Komodo National Park, Sape, Bima and Denpasar.
The boat is locally owned and operated, and has a “home court advantage” in dealing with local authorities and airlines. Agents such Diviac can help you handle local arrangements for you every step of the way. But when you travel halfway around the world to go diving you want more than competent service—you want excellence where it counts most - Underwater!
Even though the cruises consistently cost less than those of competitors, Nusa Tara never stints on the quality of the diving.
Nusa Tara is part of Grand Komodo’s fleet whose pioneering efforts pay off for Divers today. The Dive Masters all grew up here, likewise our Captains, chase boat drivers, compressor operators, engineers, cooks and cabin attendants are all local people experienced in our locales, operations and customers.
Nusa Tara runs scheduled departures throughout the year, and the diverse itineraries makes it easy to arrange a charter to fit your specific needs. We can also provide you with an itinerary combining several consecutive trips—not a bad idea, considering the distance and cost of getting to Indonesia for most divers.
