Dive Cruise Itineraries

Indonesia: Komodo and Sunda Islands |
India: The Andamans |
Schedules |
The following are sample itineraries for each of our destinations. We follow basic and familiar routes through our destinations. However we are flexible to alter a dive route subject to customer request and satisfaction. Plus we endeavor to dive a site when there are no divers from other boats. (Of course, this is not always possible on very popular dive sites). Our flexibility sets us apart from other liveaboards that operate to strict schedules and thus manufacture the diving experience. We take a relaxed, personal yet professional attitude towards our customers by providing them such versatility.
Ultimately, however, whenever we set sail we must have complete respect for the sea. We study weather conditions and ensure we have the latest weather news so we can plan our trips accordingly. In light of this, the Crew Coordinator may re-route the dive trip to ensure the safety of all on board, or to re-plan a more desirable route for diving within the limitations of predicted weather patterns.
We provide detailed dive site descriptions and destination maps on our website under each relevant destination.
