Join us on a 12 diving day / 12 nights aboard the liveaboard ship to see the best dive sites of Raja Ampat.
You’ll get more time underwater (unlimited bottom time + we offer 4-5 dives every day); be guaranteed to have guides who know the area and the dive sites; start your trip at 9AM on departure day (so that you’ll get in an extra day of diving); enjoy an additional early light breakfast; and get help with your photography. There is more – you can contact me directly to discover the rest.
Trip Dates: November 17-29, 2015
Route: Sorong – Sorong
$5280 per person + fees
This Value-Added liveaboard trip is similar to a “standard” liveaboard trip,
with these exceptions (only some of the value that is added):
- 12 guest divers instead of the 16 a normal full charter or scheduled trip would take
- 17 crew including a hand-picked team to supplement (or replace) the ship’s
normal crew - More dives – board 9AM departure day; diving 1st and last days of the trip (most
other trips board late afternoon on departure day) - Over 50 hours underwater
- Unlimited bottom time.
- Guaranteed dive team, all experienced in diving Raja Ampat (cruise director,
dive guides, photo pro, trip leader) - Guest divers are vetted to insure their skills are appropriate for the trip, and that they will
enjoy the style of diving we do.
The goal of this trip is to experience the best Raja Ampat has to offer during the trip dates. We use data from the previous trip plus share info with other top liveaboard ships both to get to the best sites of the moment, and to be the only ship on a site.
You will see amazing reefs teeming with life, manta rays soaring above your head, odd critters discovered in their hiding places in the algae and rubble. Rock islands, pinnacles, narrow passages, deep bays – every dive site is unique – we know them well and can show you the best of everything.
Not a photographer, that’s fine. About 30% of my guests are not.
You will join a dive “team” of 3 or 4 guests with others who are compatible with your style of diving. Not interested in photography, or are only a casual photographer? – you’ll dive with others who are the same. Serious about your underwater photography? – your team will also be photographers. Prefer to dive solo? – no problem (once you are checked out).
Bring 3-4 divers – you’ll have your own dive tender and own dive guide!
Underwater Photography Assistance Included – formal or one-on-one will depend on number of divers who want instruction. Buying a new camera or just starting? – get help choosing equipment before the trip. Want to learn or improve image editing skills? Sit down with Don during surface intervals for help. Don will also work with you individually underwater if you like.

Our Liveaboard Dive Ship – Comfortable – Exotic! Build for Diving!
Our ship is the SMY Ondina – Indonesia Liveaboard – a very comfortable ship, experienced in Raja Ampat, and our favorite for these special trips. Now with major updates and improvements in June 2014 this ship is in top form. Fluent Spanish, English & Bahasa always spoken.
Trip price: Ask me to explain why this trip is less expensive than a comparable “normal” liveaboard trip.
