Indonesia's wood dive liveaboard experience! Here at the Teman Liveaboard we believe scuba diving holidays CAN combine world-class dive sites, with a truly relaxing and unfogetable experience. You shouldn't have to choose between colourful, critter-packed, fishy, pelagic-filled dives andgood accommodation with gourmet food and a personalized service. Yes, you can have it all ... diving cruises without compromise!

So, what makes us special?

Here at the Teman Liveaboard, we have built a stunning wooden vessel that offers a taste of the local culture (a traditional Indonesian Phinisi) but fitted it with all the modern conveniences of a luxury hotel. We designed spacious boutique cabins that once again invite our guests to enjoy the country they're visiting (local handicrafts and inspirations). We added a restaurant serving international and local cuisine and added both an outdoor sky restaurant and a top-deck sky for relax, sunbathing, relaxing and enjoying the island views. Then we trained up an enthusiastic local crew, including 1 highly sought-after chef and 3 eagle-eyed dive guides, to join our western cruise director, adding up to 14 members of the Teman Liveaboard onboard team providing a truly personalized service for our 12 guests.

Next we chose to focus on diving the stunning Indonesian archipelago, a true remote paradise, packed with 5-star dive sites to match our super liveaboard and crew. Indonesia offers everything from healthy coral reefs to sandy critter hide-outs, with so much to see that one trip is never enough. Dive Komodo for incredible diversity from frogfish and nudibranchs to schooling jacks and mola-mola (oceanic sunfish), then travel to the untouched reefs of Alor and Flores, before heading into the Banda Sea to dive the wonders of Maluku (and visit the famous Spice Islands) but don't forget to make time for Raja Ampat and its world-famous gorgonian sea fans, enigmatic wobbegong sharks and manta rays.
