Doing a single afternoon dive from Labuan Bajo before liveaboard

Hey all, im headed to Indonesia next week and to Komodo a couple of days after I arrive in Jakarta. If everything works as scheduled I arrive in Labuan Bajo at 1:15pm the day before I go on a liveaboard for a couple of days.

It’s been almost a year since I last went diving, and while I am confident in my abilities and feel ready and up for it, I‘d like to try and get in one dive before I start with the liveaboard. The reason is t really a refresher, like I said, I feel comfortable and confident in my abilities. However, I lost about a third of my body weight since my last dive. Willingly, I‘m very happy with how that went. I’m a completely different weight and would like to get my bearings, get the weights right and whatnot…you know the drill. And ideally before I get onto that boat the next day.

Here‘s my question: how feasible is this? Can you do shore diving from Labuan Bajo? Like I said, the goal isn’t really to see a lot of good stuff, but basically to calibrate and get used to diving in what is essentially a new form for me.

Also, if it turns out to be feasible, and anyone gee reads this who happens to be in Labuan Bajo on 8 September…wanna join me? :)
