Alor & Komodo Indonesia – Pindito November 28 – December 8 & December 10-20, 2027 - Underwater Photography

Join Backscatter's Berkley White & Adobe Lightroom expert Erin Quigley for some of the best diving in all of Indonesia on the original pioneer liveaboard Pindito. This trip will cover a large area offering a stunning variety of dive sites with amazing wide-angle and macro photo opportunities. Berkley and Erin will be on hand to assist with UW photo techniques, offer technical support, and teach post-production workflows in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. East Flores & AlorNovember 28 – December 10 Our first trip starts in Maumere and will travel east toward Alor. We'll make stops in Lembata and Beangabang for some world-class macro photography. Rhinopias, seahorses, frogfish, octopus, and pipefish are just some of the amazing critters that call this area home. We'll also pass the active volcano of Komba, which spectacularly erupts every 15-20 minutes, on our way to Alor and the Pantar Strait. This region offers some action-packed diving, with the potential for big stuff like mola-mola, big dogtooth tuna, and thresher sharks. We'll then turn back to Maumere with endless choices of great macro and wide-angle dive sites. RESERVE YOUR SPOT NOWKomodoDecember 10-20 On the second leg of the trip, we’ll head west from Maumere to the Komodo National Park. In our experience, this is the very best time of year to dive Komodo. Unlike earlier in the year, when the water in Horseshoe Bay is cold and visibility is poor, we've experienced stunning conditions in November and December, with warm, clear blue water. We plan to maximize our time in South Komodo and Horseshoe Bay at sites you don't usually visit mid-year. From there, we'll head to Manta Alley, then north to Tatawa Besar & Gili Lawa Laut, then on to Banta and Sangeang before ending the trip in Labuan Bajo. With its incredible mixture of both wide-angle and macro photo opportunities, you'll never be at a loss for something to shoot. Pindito The MV Pindito is the only liveaboard dive boat in Indonesia with over 30 years of experience! In continuous operation since 1992 under owner Edi Frommenwiler, the MV Pindito's crew is unmatched for its diving knowledge and experience in Indonesia.
