Important Scheduling Notes

• Rest day: If diving 4+ consecutive days, schedule a rest day to allow off-gassing and enjoy Labuan Bajo's non-diving activities
• No-fly buffer: Your last dive day must be at least 18–24 hours before your flight. Plan accordingly.
• Weather flexibility: Having one extra day gives a buffer for weather-related itinerary changes

Our recommendation: 4 to 5 days of day trip diving gives you the best balance of site coverage, rest, and value. This allows you to dive all the accessible central and northern highlights while keeping a rest day and no-fly buffer.
