Blue Lotus offers eco-friendly liveaboard diving in Komodo. Built for sustainability and serious divers, every trip supports reef health, community partnerships, and marine conservation.

Built with a Purpose

At Blue Lotus, sustainability is more than a checklist—it’s the blueprint.

Crafted by hand in the traditional phinisi boatyards of Sulawesi, Blue Lotus was designed from the keel up to operate responsibly in one of the world’s most precious marine environments: Komodo National Park.

We use sustainable materials, minimize waste, and run energy-efficient operations to keep our environmental footprint as light as our wake.

A Shared Ethos with Azul Komodo

As a sister operation to Azul Komodo, we share a deep commitment to eco-conscious diving. That includes:

  • Following Green Fins guidelines to minimize diver impact

  • Embracing PADI AWARE Foundation programs like Dive Against Debris

  • Supporting local marine conservation efforts—from coral monitoring to species identification

Even our PADI courses aboard Blue Lotus weave in responsible diving practices, so guests can deepen their knowledge and their connection to the ocean.

 

Onboard Sustainability: Small Choices, Big Impact

We take care of the ocean by taking care with every detail:

  • Refillable water stations—no plastic bottles, ever

  • Reef-safe sunscreens provided for all guests

  • Compostable and reusable products throughout the vessel

  • Eco-friendly cleaning products and systems designed to reduce water waste

 

Our goal is simple: make diving better without making the ocean worse.

Community Matters

Just as we care for reefs, we care for the people who protect them. Blue Lotus sources supplies locally, employs Indonesian crew, and works in alignment with regional conservation groups and operators. Every voyage supports jobs, families, and sustainable tourism in Labuan Bajo and beyond.

 

We’re also aligned with local initiatives to support safe moorings, protect manta habitats, and reduce marine traffic in sensitive areas.

More Than a Dive—It’s a Partnership

When you sail with Blue Lotus, you’re not just on a dive trip—you’re part of something bigger. You’re helping us:

  • Reduce impact

  • Support communities

  • Protect coral reefs

  • Promote ethical, experience-rich travel

You’re showing that the future of liveaboard diving can be just as inspiring above the surface as it is below.

Explore Komodo with intention. Dive with care. Travel with heart.
That’s the Blue Lotus way.
