Does anyone here have any experiences with Scuba Republic in Indonesia, specifically for Komodo?
I’m looking to do some scuba diving when I am in Indonesia. I decided on Komodo quite simply on the basis that I want to. I am a student and not swimming in money but safety comes first, so I’d rather have fewer dives that are safe and a lot of fun than more dives that are less safe or no dives at all. I have an AOWD and a nitrox certification, but I am by no means what I would call an experienced diver. I’m not exactly inexperienced, but there’s a difference between “experienced” and “not inexperienced”. I have done 37 dives in a wide range of conditions, and I generally know what I am doing, but there’s a lot I can still learn. I’m hoping to do some very nice dives while I am in Indonesia.
I also live in a city. 11 September this year will be new moon and I’m kind of banking on getting a spectacular night sky if I am on a boat in the middle of nowhere, because I want that too and I could be killing two birds with one stone.
After a bit of research I came across Scuba Republic. They offer a 3D2N trip from 10-12 September and all in all that seems to be pretty much exactly what I am looking for. Has anyone here done a trip with them before? How was it? Can you recommend? How much money did you end up spending in total per person?
