Diving First and Liveaboard

After we had a warm welcome by Ketryn in the office me and my friend decided to do our Open Water course at Diving First. They are a very professional and skilled diving center. They make you feel comfortable and explain everything very detailed and calmly. Their number 1 priority is safety! After we received our Open Water I decided to directly get my Advanced course and do a night dive with Diving First. I think that says a lot about my experience with Diving First. I want to thank all the staff but in specific Ketryn and mr Robby! I would highly recommend this diving center.

We had an amazing experience diving with Diving First Labuan Bajo! My 11-year-old son did two dives with Claudius who was absolutely fantastic — calm, patient, and incredibly professional. He made my son feel completely safe and confident underwater, and the joy on my son’s face after each dive said it all. The rest of the team were also wonderful — friendly, organized, and attentive to every detail from start to finish. Everything ran smoothly, from the equipment setup to the boat and briefings. The speed boat was genius only 30mins to first dive sites! We saw Manta ray, moray, shark, turtle, puffa fish, millions of fish and some of the best coral reefs I've seen. Thank you to Claudius and the whole Diving First crew for making it such a memorable and special experience for us both. Highly recommend them for families and anyone wanting a safe, enjoyable dive in Komodo! 🦈🐟🐠🐡

Lovely family diving day, staff was caring and warm, diving spots were breath-taking and diving gear was actually pretty new (which is rare nowadays). 2 instructors for 4, very flexible but still respectful of security. The one (should be half) lost star would be for the unnecessary friction created at pickup : 6 guests out of 7 came from our hotel, but we had to take a 6:30am shuttle, get to Labuan Bajo harbor and then leave toward the diving spots, which we later knew was basically making us pass by our hotel, as they’ve nicely dropped us for the way back. Anyway, I recommend !

Very responsive crews and great instructor! They were all very friendly and nice, I took my open water certification here and soo glad I did, Ricardo (my instructor) was very patient and helpful during my training and always make sure I was taken care of but also gave room for me to learn by myself and explore. Superb experience! Would love to dive with the rest of the crew next time 🥰🥰

I spent 3 amazing days diving with Diving First. The crew are a very friendly and professional team always doing their best to make sure you were happy. I always felt safe and well looked after on every dive. You go on a speedboat which gets you to dive sites fast. Lunch was delicious on every day. Not many people on the boat which made it a more personal experience, especially day 2 when I dived with only the instructors. Great value! Not to mention they also provide included GoPro footage which has made me super happy to have underwater memories to share with family and friends. I highly recommend Diving First, 10/10 experience 🦈🐟
