Ambon, Kalabahi in Alor, Sorong in Raja Ampat or Saumlaki in Maluku are all sometimes used for departure. If you wish to reach our Banda Sea liveaboard independently, you will have to do so through Ambon.
Our Banda Sea liveaboard brings you across the Ring of Fire and the Forgotten Islands, blessed with some of the finest diving experience in Indonesia.
We visit many different islands and a great variety of dive sites as Banda Sea provides an abundance of scuba diving possibilities. To make the experience unique, our itineraries mostly combine the Banda Sea with another great destination such as Raja Ampat, Alor, Triton Bay and Ambon.
Banda Sea is generally welcoming divers who are prepared for a mix of wide-angle and macro subjects. Famous for biodiversity, divers passionate of photography should be prepared for various underwater opportunities as in one day we can experience dive sites ideal for wide-angle as well as macrophotography.

The dive plan consists of visiting all of the famous dive sites such as Batu Bolong, Crystal Rock or Castle Rock, however often water conditions will always be checked to ensure proper safety.
During all of our Komodo liveaboards, on two specific days we plan two of the most famous Komodo land tours:
Visiting the famous view point on Padar island
Exploring Komodo or Rinca island for the Komodo dragons
Visiting the famous Pink Beach
On each day of the liveaboard we are performing a minimum of 3 dives with potential 4th night dive in certain areas where conditions allow.
