Diving in Komodo is world-class — but choosing the wrong boat can seriously impact your trip. In this edition, I share what most people don’t tell you about Indonesia’s traditional phinisi boats (hint: they don’t actually sail), how my own experience taught me the hard way, and what to look for when booking your next liveaboard in remote regions like Komodo and Raja Ampat. Plus, exclusive last-minute discounts on top-tier vessels still available this season.
