About Odyssey Liveaboard

Embark on an extraordinary journey to Australia's remote Rowley Shoals aboard the M/V Odyssey, a stable catamaran designed for unparalleled comfort and access to pristine dive sites.

Australia's Rowley Shoals Marine Park is a true hidden gem, a remote and protected wonderland boasting some of the most vibrant and untouched coral reefs on the planet. Here, crystal-clear waters teem with an astonishing diversity of marine life, from schooling fish and reef sharks to majestic manta rays and playful turtles. The currents, while present, offer exhilarating drift dives that carry you effortlessly past breathtaking walls of coral, revealing an ecosystem thriving in isolation. Exploring this pristine environment aboard the M/V Odyssey offers a unique opportunity to witness a world few ever experience, with visibility often extending beyond 50 meters. Diving from the Odyssey is a seamless and well-orchestrated adventure, facilitated by the dedicated 12-meter expedition vessel, 'Homer'. This tender ensures divers and snorkelers reach the most spectacular spots with ease and comfort. While the Odyssey is not purpose-built as a dive boat, the crew expertly manages operations, providing a hose for wetsuit rinses and a dedicated crate with fresh water for camera gear. Divers can expect multiple dives per day, guided by experienced professionals who prioritize safety and enjoyment. Though Nitrox is not available, the warm, clear waters and abundant marine encounters make every dive an unforgettable experience, even with dive times typically limited to 50 minutes or 50 bar. Life aboard the M/V Odyssey is designed for relaxation and enjoyment after thrilling days underwater. Guests are accommodated in comfortable, air-conditioned cabins, each featuring ample storage and a bar fridge. The vessel offers a variety of inviting social spaces, including a spacious indoor dining area and an alfresco option on the upper outdoor deck, perfect for enjoying the ocean breeze. For further relaxation, three additional outdoor viewing decks provide panoramic vistas, while state-of-the-art viewing and surround sound systems, complete with large plasma and LCD screens and DVD players, offer entertainment options. Culinary delights are a highlight of the Odyssey experience, with all meals prepared fresh daily by a dedicated chef. The dining style is typically buffet, featuring a delicious mix of Western and local cuisine. Guests can look forward to hearty breakfasts, substantial lunches, and special dinners, with plenty of snacks available throughout the day, including freshly baked cookies and fruit. The crew is attentive to dietary requirements, which can be accommodated with advance notice, ensuring everyone enjoys their meals. Beverages like drinking water, soft drinks, tea, and coffee are included, with alcoholic options available for purchase. The M/V Odyssey, a custom-built catamaran launched in 2006 and renovated in 2015, measures 24 meters in length with an 8-meter beam, offering generous space for up to 20 guests across 10 cabins. Her advanced catamaran design ensures exceptional stability and a quiet ride, enhancing the overall comfort of the journey. Powered by two Detroit diesel engines, she cruises at 10 knots with a top speed of 15 knots, carrying 16,000 liters of fuel and producing 200 liters of fresh water per hour. This robust vessel is well-equipped to navigate the remote waters of the Rowley Shoals, providing a reliable platform for exploration. Trips typically embark from Broome, Western Australia, with an overnight steam to reach the remote Rowley Shoals. The best time to visit this region is during the dry season, generally from September to December, when water conditions are calm and visibility is at its peak. While transfers to and from the embarkation point are not included in the base price, they can be arranged as optional extras. This liveaboard experience is particularly ideal for divers and snorkelers seeking an immersive adventure in an unspoiled marine environment, as well as those who appreciate a comfortable and well-catered journey to remote destinations.
