Komodo scuba Tour guide Interview about diving experiences(Interviewer) Hello, thank you for taking some time to do an interview. Can you start by telling us your name and a little bit about your experience as a dive guide?
(Dive Guide) Hello. Sure, my name is Alex and I've been a dive guide for over 10 years now. I've had the opportunity to explore some of the world's most incredible dive sites and lead countless dives in the time I have been a professional dive guide. I am extremely passionate about sharing my love for the underwater world with others and making sure that everyone of my guests have a safe and enjoyable dive experience. (Interviewer) So what do you think sets Komodo apart from other dive destinations in your opinion? (Dive Guide) Komodo is truly a unique and spectacular destination for divers. The combination of crystal clear waters, diverse marine life, and stunning underwater landscapes make it a fantastic place for any scuba enthusiast. The diversity of species that you can encounter here is truly incredible, from large pelagics like mantas and whale sharks to the tiniest of critters like nudibranchs and shrimps. The underwater topography is also incredible, with wall dives, drift dives, and healthy coral reefs providing a constantly changing landscape. (Interviewer) Can you tell us about one of your most memorable experiences while diving in Komodo? (Dive Guide) There are so many, but one that stands out was when I was leading a dive at Castle Rock. We were exploring a pinnacle that rises from the depths and suddenly, out of nowhere, a massive school of barracuda appeared. The sheer number of all the fish was absolutely breathtaking and the way they flowed together was mesmerizing for our entire group. We watched in awe as the school of barracuda circled the pinnacle before disappearing into the blue. It’s moments like those that remind me about what makes diving so special and why I love being a dive guide in Komodo National Park. (Interviewer) What advice would you give to someone who is new to diving or thinking about trying it for the first time in Komodo? (Dive Guide) My advice would be to take your time and listen to your dive guide. Scuba diving can be a bit overwhelming at first, but with proper training and a good dive guide, it can be a truly amazing experience. Take the time to get comfortable with all the equipment as well as the underwater environment. Above all I would say to always prioritize safety. After safety…remember to have fun! Diving is supposed to be an enjoyable and exciting adventure, so make the most of it for each and every time. They can always be different depending on the tides and currents. As well as the season and time of day that you go. (Interviewer) Thank you for taking the time to speak with us, Alex. This just a short interview, but I appreciate it. Your passion for diving and knowledge of the underwater world is truly inspiring. Do you have any recommendations or company recommendations for anyone coming to Scuba diving in Komodo National Park? (Dive Guide) Thank you for asking me. I always appreciate people that want to learn more and take the time to learn about what they are doing. I think as far as diving, there are some great companies to choose from, but I would recommend a new coming for Scuba diving in Komodo, they are called Maika Komodo Tour & Diving. I have guided for many companies and I can safely say they are a great company and follow all the safety procedures and make sure all the staff and crew are on the same page.
