Scuba Junkie Komodo

Scuba Junkie Komodo is the Komodo base of the Scuba Junkie group, set on a quiet stretch of coast near Warloka on the edge of the national park, away from the traffic of Labuan Bajo. It is a PADI 5-star dive resort, so diving, rooms, the beach bar and the restaurant are all in one place, and the boat leaves from the resort.

Being closer to the park cuts travel time to central sites such as Batu Bolong and the manta cleaning stations, which see mantas all year. The centre sells dive and stay packages, PADI courses from Open Water to Divemaster and Instructor Development, snorkel trips and a liveaboard, KLM Eliya. The team stresses safety and conservation, and reviews from 2025 and 2026 describe experienced divemasters and well-run boats.

Getting there involves a transfer from town or the airport, so it suits divers who plan several days of diving and want to stay put. Book by email or WhatsApp; the resort is listed under stays as well.
