There are mainly two seasons in Indonesia, the dry and the rainy season. While the former ranges from May to November; the latter varies from December to April. The Komodo National Park region gives you a wonderful experience in Scuba diving which is entirely different from the general Scuba diving. Also, you can dive here on both the seasons.
