Recently Joshua Lee spent time on a 50m charter yacht in and around Indonesia’s Komodo Island diving with family and friends.

“Totally amazing and beyond expectation. Drift diving is exhilarating and dangerous. My heart was in my mouth everyday. I never realised how adventurous you needed to be to go drift diving especially at night. Everything from the boat, the group of people and of course the diving and trekking were simply the best. I want to go again!” says Lee.

About Komodo (island)

Komodo is one of the 17,508 islands that compose the Republic of Indonesia. The island is particularly notable as the habitat of the Komodo dragon, the largest lizard on Earth, which is named after the island. Komodo Island has a surface area of 390 square kilometres and a human population of over two thousand. The people of the island are descendants of former convicts who were exiled to the island and who have mixed with Bugis from Sulawesi. The people are primarily adherents of Islam but there are also Christian and Hindu congregations.

Komodo is part of the Lesser Sunda chain of islands and forms part of the Komodo National Park. In addition, the island is a popular destination for diving. Administratively, it is part of the East Nusa Tenggara province.
