The best things we have experienced
The whole experience from start until finish is 10/10. Everyone is doing their best to make this as good as possible for the guests. The guides are doing their best to find all the good stuff. The dives was everything between super calm and stronger currents. Everything outside of the diving was also top.Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

A dream come true!
After living in Bali for a while, I have always wanted to go to Komodo. Finally I made it and Bajak was the cherry on top :) Could not imagine a better way to explore the beautiful island and discover Komodo’s underwater world.

Discover the craziest underwater wildlife
Traveling on a liveaboard made me discover the craziest underwater wildlife I’ve ever seen! Surrounded by huge mantas, seeing so many fish that I could not even mention which ones, sharks, turtles, and so many more animals, that this place made me love it so bad, I will have to come back soon!

An amazing experience
My first liveaboard and an amazing experience! The crew was all incredible: keeping the boat clean and tidy, cooking delicious food, prepping the equipment, bringing energy and vibes, and (most importantly) keeping us safe during the dives. The diving was diverse and incredible, the guides adapted to all levels of the group and the conditions to get the most out of it. I loved it so much, I did a second trip right after! The boat is not overly luxurious, but that's what makes it special and creates a convivial atmosphere 🫶

I had the best time with Scuba Republic!
Having travelled from Gili T to experience the incredible diving I had been told about in Komodo, I was excited to get onto the liveaboard and spend 4 days out in the national park. The boat was fantastic, with comfortable sleeping, lots of rest spaces, a welcoming crew, and delicious food! My divemaster was incredible. He understood exactly what we wanted to see and what kind of diving we wanted to do. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Once we finished the liveaboard, we decided we had so much fun that we decided to get straight on the next one.
