You can expect roomy comfort and great diving aboard the liveaboard Mermaid I

With spacious and modern facilities you may think you're still back at the resort rather than on a boat. You can identify the unusual marine life sightings that you find on your Komodo liveaboard trip on the shaded Upper Deck, edit your photos or catch a movie in the air-conditioned Saloon, or just grab a relaxing sun lounger on the huge Top Deck. Fresh towels are in your room and on the Sundeck every day. Dive Adventurers will experience the Earth’s greatest collection of diverse marine species from Manta Rays to Pygmy Seahorses plus fascinating underwater landscapes created by the area’s volcanic activity. 3,000 different species of fish and 600 coral species inhabit these seas. Hopping between Labuan Bajo and Bima the Dive Safari will include Shark encounters, Drift Dives, Wrecks, Muck Diving and gorgeous Reefs. And don’t forget about the area’s namesake, the magnificent Komodo Dragons, which you will witness in their natural environment - Komodo National Park.
