Komodo and East Flores liveaboard with, Rinca, Padar, Alor, and Beyond. It’s our land-based and favorite liveaboard destination from April–November. Ready to dive its crystal-clear waters, pink beaches, and untouched coral reef.
The last untouched paradise on earth, Raja Ampat with its turquoise waters and thousands of islands, is the pristine diving destination in the world that has a season from October–April.
Known as the Ring of Fire or Spice Islands with its island jewels and hammerhead, the Banda Sea is considered best to cruise in October/November and April.
For more remote areas such as Forgotten Island and the Banda Sea, some special months have to be considered for macro lovers.
Our last destination is Halmahera that is offering the best scuba diving and landscape. Always combine with Raja Ampat or Ambon, we believe Halmahera is the next popular diving destination.

We have built one stunning tailor-made diving wooden phinisi: Vaiatea, which gives a sip of the local culture and fits it with all the modern conveniences of everything you need onboard. We designed spacious cabins that invite our 12 guests to enjoy the country they’re visiting.
We added a grandiose restaurant room with a chef, a fusion food kitchen combining international and local cuisine. As scuba diver experts, we are proud to have an onboard Nitrox filling station available with state of art Securus system and rebreather-ready facilities. The photo room is probably what underwater photographers will love the most onboard of Vaiatea.

We added both an outdoor deck and a top-deck sky lounge for sunbathing, relaxing, and enjoying the island views. With our unique experience since 2009 of Indonesian water, we will offer you an extraordinary diving experience that fills your days in what we believed are some of Indonesia’s most spectacular locations.
