To provide maximum safety and fun we dive in small groups: max. 4 divers per guide according to experience level and conditions. All guides dive with a Nautilus Lifeline: a submersible Radio & GPS that can contact the boat from the surface at anytime, anywhere. Our experienced guides meticulously plan out the dives so we can for example have the tides in our favor to increase the chance of seeing mantas.

We highly recommend divers to arrive one day before check-in in Labuan Bajo, and stay one more night in Labuan Bajo after the check-out!! (In order to NOT miss any dives according to your flight schedule.)
