Scuba Junkie Komodo has always been committed to our guests and staff safety in and out of the water. The following requirements have been put in place to ensure our guests and staff feel safe whilst enjoying the stunning resort and epic diving. We thank you for your co-operation with our requirements in the ‘new normal’. From the moment you arrive in Labuan Bajo to the moment you leave we will be ensuring that you feel confident that we have your best interests at heart.

• Wearing a face mask at all times (aside from eating, drinking and diving)
• Practicing social distancing of 1m from people you are not travelling with
• Hand washing and sanitizing of areas

We require a non-reactive rapid test that is valid for the duration of your stay. A rapid test is valid for 14days from when the results are issued.

Domestic Travel - Arrivals

Domestic arrivals at Bali DPS airport require a negative rapid test (or PCR) result issued within 14 days of arrival.

All arrivals in Bali DPS should have the following in addition to the negative test result:

• Install the eHAC app on your phone for quarantine monitoring, take the survey, and get the QR code in return.
• All passengers are required to fill in a health certificate on arrival at the airport

All travelers are recommended to carry a full set of original documents and a second set of photocopies - handing over photocopies could speed your processing. A back-up set of digital copies on your phone is a good idea, too.

Domestic Travel - Departures

Passengers departing from the Labuan Bajo (LBJ) domestic terminal must have a negative rapid test or PCR result within 14 days of departure. They have been checking for these at the entrance to the domestic terminal before checking in as well as checking everyone's temperature. This has led to longer queues in the airport so please allow plenty of time before check in.

If you are flying back to Bali you are required to fill Bali Health Alert Form (Formulir Kewaspadaan Kesehatan Provinsi Bali) that can be accessed here

If you are flying back to Jakarta you are required to install and activate Peduli Lindungi app on mobile device.
