Being spread evenly over the equator, Indonesia has a tropical climate, with coastal temperatures averaging between 26C and 28C. Variations in temperature are relatively small and due to this most areas remain steadily warm and humid all year round.

Rainfall is the main changing variable in Indonesia. The country's humidity varies minimally, staying between 70 and 90%. Winds are average and usually predictable, with monsoons coming from the south and east from June to September and from the northwest from December to March. Typhoons and storms are not generally a problem in Indonesia.

Visibility

Depending on the time of year and where you're diving, visibilty can range from anything bewteen a few meters (rainy/monsoon season) to 50m+! Currents can of course affect visibility and Indoesnia can have either very calm, still water and also some ripping currents! (Best for drift diving and experienced divers).

Indo Aggressor Liveaboard

Indo Aggressor

The INDO AGGRESSOR™ offers various Komodo diving itineraries to 4 different areas. The most well known, Komodo National Park Indonesia was established in 1980 and was declared a World Heritage Site and a Man and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1986. The park was initially established to conserve the unique Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis). Since then conservation goals have expanded to protecting its entire biodiversity, both marine and terrestrial. The Komodo National Park encompasses 1,817 square kilometers of spectacular land and marine wilderness, including the islands of Komodo, Rinca, Padar, and Gili Montagne and their surrounding waters. The signature land attraction on your INDO AGGRESSOR™ LiveAboard scuba diving trip in Komodo will be an encounter with the world’s largest lizard - the flesh eating Komodo Dragon.

The INDO AGGRESSOR™ is a traditional Phinisi boat that travels as a motorized yacht and has sails. The sails are still maintained for Komodo diving and other activities but only if offshore and weather permitting due to all the travel close to the islands.

The INDO AGGRESSOR™ offers itineraries to 4 different areas:

The 7, 10 and 11 night liveaboard Komodo cruises feature enhanced vacation itineraries that allows guests more time diving and more time in the signature areas. Following are the different itineraries offered on the INDO AGGRESSOR™:

     - Komodo Deep South (7 nights)
     - Bali, Tulamben, East Sumbawa & Komodo National Park (11 nights)
     - Komodo National Park (10 nights)
     -Forgotten Islands (10 nights) View Itinerary

Many of our guests are avid photographers who like nothing more than hunting out weird and wonderful critters on the reef and sand. As part of the expanded Komodo diving itinerary we have added two locations to the west of the Komodo National Park on our liveaboard – Sangeang Indonesia, an island volcano to the north of East Sumbawa and Bima Bay Indonesia, an inlet that meanders down to Bima town on Sumbawa. There are two specific sites in both of these areas that are producing a dazzling array of rare creepy crawlies on a regular basis – “Estuary” on Sangeang and “Fuzzy Bottom” at the entrance to Bima Bay.

Please Note: The Indo Aggressor requires that every diver carry a Surface Marker Buoy or SMB, also known as a safety sausage, signal tube, or surface marker on every dive to comply with dive safety standards. An SMB is an important safety accessary for every diver regardless of where you are scuba diving.
