Logbook: notes from the water on NK Jaya Komodo trips
Updated 20 October 2026
The Logbook is our notebook for people about to snorkel Komodo on NK Jaya 1 or NK Jaya 2. Each entry takes one subject, the spot, the season or the boat, and answers it with dates, numbers and sources. It's written by the KEXI team in Labuan Bajo, including our boat inspector.
Newest entries
The latest entries sit below, newest first. Each one opens to the full note, its date and its sources, and takes one question at a time: how to read a current at Manta Point, what the wet season does to manta odds, which NK Jaya suits your group.
