Liveaboard Diving in Indonesia

The Indonesian archipelago has over thirteen thousand islands and sits inside the area known as the Coral Triangle. The islands and smaller islets are diverse and a vast number of them are uninhabited making a diving cruise the only way to get to many dive spots. Dive cruise itineraries in Indonesia vary between 4-11 days, the length will often depend on how remote the location you visit is. There are two kinds of dive cruise available in Indonesia, motorised dive yachts and traditional Indonesian sailing boats. The sailing boats range from clean and simple like the KLM Sunshine and Lady Denok, to high end luxury like the The Dewi Nusantara which boasts a spa and ensuite rooms with their own baths. For something a little special, the master and state cabins of the Damai I and II have their own private balconies. The motor yachts are less common than sailing boats and most are simple and comfortable. If you want a little more luxury, then the Blue Manta has very large cabins with ensuite baths and a classy inside dining area.
