Join our 7-night Liveaboard UW photo dive trip on the Indo Masters, 25 July - 1 August 2027!
Diving in Komodo National Park is an unforgettable experience, known for its dramatic underwater landscapes and powerful currents that attract an incredible diversity of marine life. The nutrient-rich waters create thrilling drift dives over colorful reefs, pinnacles, and seamounts, making Komodo one of the most exciting dive destinations in the world. With proper guiding, these dynamic conditions reward divers with vibrant coral gardens and constant action throughout every dive.
What you can see in late July
July is one of the best times to experience Komodo on a liveaboard, with dry season conditions bringing clear water, thriving reefs, and exciting pelagic action. Divers can encounter reef manta rays, sharks, giant trevallies, schools of barracuda and tuna, turtles, and an incredible amount of marine life throughout the park. The stronger currents during this time attract larger fish and create some of Komodo’s most iconic drift dives, while the cooler, nutrient-rich waters in the south support vibrant reefs and unique macro life like pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs, and frogfish. With dramatic underwater landscapes and nonstop marine activity, July offers the wild and energetic side of Komodo that many divers dream about.
About the liveaboard - The Indo Masters
Built in 2022 on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, the 47m Indo Master liveaboard combines traditional craftsmanship with modern comfort. Handcrafted from beautiful ironwood and teak, the vessel was designed by divers for divers, with every detail carefully considered to create the ideal liveaboard experience. Hosting a maximum of just 18 guests per cruise, Indo Master offers plenty of space to relax and unwind between dives. The yacht features 9 spacious cabins, including fixed double, twin, and family suite options, all equipped with air-conditioning and private ensuite bathrooms with hot water. The North European-sized beds are larger than those found on many liveaboards and are fitted with premium bedding for added comfort throughout the journey.
Meet Your Photography Trip Leader: Tiani Dun
Tiani Dun, an Australian underwater photographer and marine biologist (MS, James Cook University), will be your expert guide throughout the trip. She will lead a full photography workshop and provide personalized feedback through photo review sessions, ensuring individualized attention for photographers of all levels.
Tiani's passion for marine life began during her studies, but she quickly realized she preferred being behind the camera and underwater rather than in an office. As a PADI instructor, she has worked across Malaysia, Fiji, Thailand, and Australia, capturing the beauty of the ocean and educating others. When not diving, she mentors students, writes for ocean conservation initiatives, and lectures on marine biology.
Her specialty is macro photography, with a deep love for nudibranchs—her favorite conversation topic! Always up for fun, you’ll often find her practicing bubble rings on safety stops or snapping selfies with fellow divers. Tiani’s enthusiasm for underwater photography and conservation makes this trip an incredible learning experience, blending creativity, science, and adventure.
