Dive Area & Sites

Indonesia offers an unparalleled diving experience, renowned for its incredible biodiversity and vibrant marine ecosystems. The Neomi liveaboard explores prime locations such as Raja Ampat, Alor, the Banda Sea, and Komodo National Park, each offering unique underwater spectacles. Divers can expect to encounter an astonishing array of marine life, from mesmerizing coral gardens and schools of reef fish to majestic manta rays and hammerhead sharks. Visibility is generally excellent, and the variety of dive sites caters to all levels, from gentle drift dives over pristine reefs to more challenging currents for experienced divers. The Neomi's itineraries are strategically planned to coincide with the best diving seasons in each region, maximizing the chances of spectacular encounters. Onboard, the diving logistics are designed for efficiency and comfort. The spacious dive deck provides individual storage spaces for gear, and separate rinse tanks are available for cameras. Nitrox is offered to certified divers, allowing for extended bottom times. Experienced dive guides lead small groups, typically with a maximum of four divers, ensuring personalized attention and a safe, enjoyable experience. The use of two tenders facilitates quick and easy access to dive sites, reducing travel time and maximizing underwater exploration. Night dives are also offered, revealing a completely different nocturnal world of marine creatures.

Insurance Recommendation

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.

How does the booking process work?

Select a cabin and departure on Neomi, and we send a real-time inquiry to the operator. After availability is confirmed, you receive a booking confirmation by email and secure your spot with a deposit.

A deposit (usually 25-35%) is due upon confirmation. The remaining balance is typically due 4-8 weeks before departure, depending on the operator.

What documents will I receive?

After your final payment, you'll receive a travel voucher with meeting point, embarkation time, airport transfer details, packing tips, and your full itinerary.

Most liveaboards depart from a designated marina. Many operators offer airport pickup and transfers — details are in your voucher. We recommend arriving one day before departure.
