Dragon Dive Komodo Dive Resort

As a professional diver, I have very high standards when it comes to safety and equipment care. Unfortunately, our experience with Dragon Dive Komodo was unacceptable on every level. My partner and I booked several fun dives with this center. We were taken diving on a boat that had been freshly painted the day before. Every single surface was still covered in oil paint. There was not one clean area on the boat. As a direct result, my personal equipment -BCD, wetsuit, and regulator, was stained with oil paint and effectively damaged. They destroyed my gear, as well as our clothes. The entire boat reeked of paint fumes, creating an unhealthy and completely unprofessional environment for diving operations. We had requested vegetarian meals in advance and were served chicken instead, a basic detail that was simply ignored. There was no proper dive briefing before entering the water. Skipping a dive briefing is a fundamental violation of basic diving safety standards. It shows a complete disregard for diver safety. Our divemaster appeared disengaged and uninterested in guiding or spotting marine life. The dives felt rushed and purely transactional just ticking boxes rather than delivering a professional diving experience. On top of that, divemasters and instructors were constantly smoking on the boat between dives, which further demonstrated a lack of professionalism. During the return trip, the sea became rough and scuba tanks were left completely unsecured, rolling violently from one side of the boat to the other as it tilted. No proper action was taken to secure them. Eventually, tanks even fell into the sea. This level of negligence is extremely dangerous and unacceptable in any serious dive operation. In my opinion, this dive center operates without proper procedures, safety standards, or respect for clients and their equipment. I strongly advise divers to avoid this dive center.

We did a four-day liveaboard trip with Dragon Divers Komodo, which we can highly recommend! All the crew members were very friendly and helpful. Our dive guides, Pogo and Marcelinus, were very professional and experienced. Their briefings were very detailed, and they always took good care of us during the dives. I was a bit afraid of the currents in the north of Komodo National Park, but Pogo and Marcelinus looked after me very well. The cabins on the boat were comfortable, and the food was delicious and very diverse. Thank you very much to the whole Shenron team for making this trip so wonderful!
