The dive cruise industry in Indonesia is one of the most diverse in the world, with liveaboards allowing access to places that are not accessible by resorts. There are four world-class diving destinations in the country that attract the majority of foreign divers. Bali is largely a resort destination, Raja Ampat Liveaboard diving is mostly a resort destination, Komodo Liveaboard and resort is primarily a resort destination, and Sulawesi cruise to faraway regions is primarily a resort destination.

Liveaboard Indonesia, Where to go?

Raja Ampat Indonesia

Raja Ampat is the world’s best remote diving destination, suitable for both experienced and novice divers. On the island of New Guinea, off the northwest tip of Bird’s Head Peninsula. Raja Ampat is also known as the Four Kings Archipelago, named for the archipelago’s four biggest islands: Misool, Salawati, Batanta, and Waigeo. The archipelago is completed by the smaller island of Kofiau, as well as around 1,500 other islets, cays, and shoals. Although there are a few resorts in the vicinity, it is primarily known for the roughly 40 Raja Ampat liveaboards that visit.

Bunaken, Manado

North Sulawesi is home to Manado and the Bunaken National Marine Park. The resorts are where the majority of the divers go to dive into the marine park. The undersea volcano Banua Wuhu is a one-of-a-kind dive location. This is an active volcano off the coast of Mahengetang Island, and diving is just 5 meters deep. Divers might see air bubbles rising from the beach and experience scorching water. The volcano is the only place where you might see another dive boat, given the thousands of potential dive sites in the vicinity and the minimal number of liveaboards that visit the area.

Bali

Bali has some of the best diving in the world, as well as some of the best land-based diving. Divers traveling around Bali will encounter a variety of diving conditions and characteristics as they travel through the three scuba diving zones. While Bali is not a small island, divers can leave early in the morning from Denpasar near the southeast coast, dive in the northwestern part of the island. Denpasar is a popular tourist destination, and the airport has good domestic and international connections. Several liveaboards leave from Bali for the Lesser Sunda Islands, which include the Komodo Islands.

Dive Cruise schedule

Both Raja Ampat and the Komodo Islands are popular year-round destinations for liveaboards. Liveaboards sail all year in each place. Some people, on the other hand, alternate between the two sites throughout the year.

  • The dry season, from March to October, is the optimum time to dive the Komodo National Park. 
  • At this time of year, liveaboards who split the year can be found on the Komodo Islands.
  • During the wet season, the Komodo Island liveaboards who stay the entire year here will travel to the southern islands.
  • Sulawesi Liveaboards are also best dived during the dry season, as the seas can be very harsh in that location during the rainy season.

The schedules provide a decent indication of the optimum times to dive in Indonesia. During the dry season, the Komodo Islands attract the most divers and are the most dived location. Raja Ampat is fantastic all year, but due to its remote location, it receives fewer visitors when the Komodo diving is at its best.
