I just got back from a long trip to Indonesia that included some dives around Bali as well as a week on the Mermaid II traveling from Bali to Komodo and back. I’ll be updating the guides over the coming weeks, but in the meantime here’s a few highlights from the 70+ ‘good’ pictures I got on the dives.

Big Discounts on Komodo Dancer

While I’ve been singing the praises of North Sulawesi a lot lately, I still think my Komodo experience last year may well have been the most fun I’ve had diving, so far. Now comes news that Sunrise Divers has discounted rates on the luxury Komodo Dancer for most of their sailing dates for the remainder of 2010. Discounts of around $500 per person are available.

Most of the Komodo Dancer’s trips are from Bali to Komodo or vice-versa, but they do have an East of Flores trip that sounds interesting.

Great Deals on Komodo Cruises from Sunrise Divers

I received Sunrise Divers’ April newsletter in the email today, and they’ve got some really good deals on offer for Komodo diving trips. For those that don’t know them, Sunrise Divers is the web site you need to check out for live-aboard dive trips in Thailand, Indonesia or Burma. They list most of the major boats, in all budgets, and their trip prices are competitive with the operators.

Speaking of trip prices, Sunrise is offering up to US$500 off on selected Komodo cruises. To get the best deals, you need to book by 30 April, so you better act quickly. Check the prices and schedules for the Komodo Dancer, Mermaid I and Mermaid II. Although not "on sale", the Moana still offers excellent value for money.

New Komodo Guide

Check out the new dive guide to Komodo, now on-line and ready for access. For those that don’t know it, Komodo has to be some of the best diving there is, although it’s also extremely challenging. Check some of the dozens of sites that you can dive around this Indonesia National Park.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control – as the saying goes – I haven’t been able to write up a complete trip report for this dive blog. However, you can read a general overview of the trip in my regular travel journal. I also posted a few Komodo teaser videos there as well.

Look for more updates soon.
