Can I Request Specific Dive Sites on a Day Trip?

Requesting Sites on Komodo Day Trips

Yes — most operators welcome site requests, though the final decision rests with the guide team based on conditions on the day.

How Site Selection Works

Tips for Getting Your Preferred Sites

• Communicate early: Tell your dive centre your must-dive sites when you book or register, not on the morning of the dive
• Be flexible: If Castle Rock is your target but conditions make it unsafe, trust your guide's alternative — it will still be excellent diving
• Book multiple days: More days mean more chances to hit your target sites when conditions align
• Private dive guide: For maximum control over site selection, book a private guide. This lets you dive at your preferred pace and target specific sites.

Reality check: On any given day, conditions may prevent access to specific sites. Northern sites (Castle Rock, Crystal Rock) require favourable wind and current. Guides will never compromise safety for a site request.
