The diving experience in Indonesia, particularly around Raja Ampat and Komodo, is world-renowned for its incredible biodiversity and vibrant marine ecosystems. Guests aboard the TemuKira can expect to explore a variety of dive sites, from vibrant coral gardens teeming with small reef fish to encounters with larger pelagics. The itineraries are carefully planned to showcase the best of the region, including iconic spots like Mansuar, Airborek, Fam, Wayag, and Misool in Raja Ampat, as well as the rich waters of Komodo. With a focus on small groups, divers receive personalized attention from experienced guides who are intimately familiar with the local sites and marine life. The vessel's dive deck is well-equipped with a shower and dedicated tender boats for convenient access to dive locations.

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.
Equipment is available for rent on this boat. Please provide your rental needs on the booking form. If the rental gear is not included in the price, you will need to pay for it on board the boat.
