Dining aboard the Mari is a full-board culinary experience featuring three daily main meals, set-menu dinners, and a constant selection of snacks. Meals are prepared by a skilled resident chef and served in a 50m2 al-fresco space on the upper deck that includes an integrated bar and a large shared dining table. The menu blends Western and local cuisine, and the crew is adept at catering to various dietary requirements, including vegan and vegetarian options. Welcome cocktails are offered upon arrival.
Indonesia sits at the heart of the Coral Triangle, harboring over 75% of all known coral species. Full scuba packages feature the expertise of a naturalist guide with a 1:4 guide-to-guest ratio and 3 to 4 daily dives. The ship features a functional dive deck with camera-friendly rinsing basins, a Nitrox-Membrane-System, and three substantial tenders. A comprehensive collection of hire apparatus is provided; divers are asked to note their particular equipment needs on their reservation paperwork prior to the trip, with fees finalized on the vessel. Nitrox and 15L cylinder upgrades are available for a daily fee, and onboard scuba training and certifications are offered for guests looking to advance their skills.
VAT · Airport Transfer
An obligatory National Park entry cost of €140 is charged for all sectors. Furthermore, a €45 Regional Diving Fee is mandatory for voyages visiting Kaimana, Triton Bay, Saumlaki, the Banda Sea, and Halmahera. Base rates do not cover costs for port clearances, village visits, anchorage, or ranger fees. · Fuel Surcharge (75-250 EUR per trip)
Free return transport between the vessel and the airport or local lodging is provided for arrivals and departures. Please provide your transfer needs on the booking form.
We strongly recommend all guests to purchase comprehensive dive accident insurance and trip cancellation insurance before departure. Dive accident insurance covers medical treatment, hyperbaric chamber costs, and emergency evacuation in the event of a diving incident. Trip cancellation insurance protects your financial investment — not only if you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to personal illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances, but also if the trip is postponed or cancelled by the operator due to severe weather, technical issues, or other operational reasons. In the unlikely event of operator insolvency, cancellation insurance can also help recover your payments. Please ensure your policies are valid for the entire duration of your trip and cover the planned activities.
Buoyancy Jacket (BCD): €7 per day · Breathing Regulator: €7 per day
