Is Diving Komodo National Park all Hype? - The 5 Day Liveaboard Begins!

After a few dives around Komodo National Park, I decided I needed more time in the waters and booked a week-long liveaboard. As we sail out amongst the other dayboats and liveaboards, it's sinking in that I have some of the world's best diving ahead for the next five days. The rest of the world and its problems flew away in the breeze, as my life shrank to this boat and a giant ocean. My next four nights are right here, small but perfect for sleeping. But the reason we're all here is to be in the water. It wasn't long before I found myself most enjoying the schools of fish. Their unity in motion can create the illusion of a sizable creature. It's a bit of a mind hurdle to clear that the school is not a massive object. Not sure if this guy was also sleeping or doing his best rock impression. No, not that one. That one. After three minutes of the world's most beautiful safety stop, we're above water and signaling for the boat to pick us up. An hour later, back in the drink. The coral is so colorful and decorated. You could stare at it for days while identifying new pieces. We surface just in time to dry off and enjoy sundown. And wow, what a sundown.
