Blue Marlin Dive Komodo

Blue Marlin Dive Komodo is part of the Blue Marlin group, established in 1990, and is a PADI 5-star dive school with a shop on Jl. Soekarno Hatta. It uses a speedboat for day trips, so guests are often first at the sites and first back at the harbour.

The course list is long: Discover Scuba Diving, Open Water, Advanced, Rescue and EFR, specialties such as Deep, Drift, Sidemount and Nitrox, then Divemaster and the IDC for those going pro. It is also one of the few centres in town offering technical diving. For multi-day trips it runs the liveaboard Ikan Biru, and it sells a three-dive day trip online.

With close to a thousand Google reviews, it is one of the biggest operations in Labuan Bajo. Reviews praise detailed briefings with site drawings and long-serving guides, though a busy shop is less personal than the smaller centres. Contact the team by phone, WhatsApp or email to book.
