Dive the stunning sites of Indonesia, plus visit the famous Komodo dragons, from the comfort of this stunningly-designed luxury vessel.

Plus, we visit a dive site in the shadow of an active volcano to feel the bubbling hot springs, and take a stroll on land with Komodos giant lizard population.

MORE DETAILS:
At the Arenui, we are proud and thrilled to have transformed a dream into reality: diving cruises without the hardship. With 22 crew serving a maximum of 16 guests, we aim to make your cruise a truly relaxing and first-class experience.
Regarding the itinerary, the Komodo 7 night / 8 day cruise explores all the major dive sites of Komodo National Park (embark/disembark Labuanbajo). This includes numerous not-to-be-missed dive sites, with Komodo voted one of the worlds top 5 dive destinations.
If you are not familiar with the Arenui, without doubt we can boast one of the finest crews in Indonesia. Our 3 Indonesian divemasters (Ali, Toby and Wawan) are rated amongst the most knowledgeable in the region. Ali was trained for many years by Larry Smith (the legend of Indonesians diving industry), Wawan has spent several years diving Raja Ampat and Komodo areas and Toby has an amazing knack for spotting rare critters (famous for being the first to spot the psychedelic frogfish in Ambon Bay). The whole operation is led by our 2 highly experienced western cruise directors, Jerry and Debbie.
Furthermore, you can rest assured that besides our very experienced divemasters and cruise directors, we have a further 18 well-trained crew members onboard from captains and engineers to masseurs and chefs (offering local and international gourmet meals, with vegetarian options on request). Most of the crew have vast experience working on other liveaboards operating in the Raja Ampat area, but prior to the Arenuis very first cruise every member, of staff was trained so their skill and performance would meet our high standard of operation.
As to the cruise destination, Komodo National Park is famously located within the Coral Triangle, an area that boasts the worlds highest marine biodiversity. Situated 200 nautical miles east of Bali, in the Lesser Sunda Islands, the Komodo National Park has a total land area of 75,000 hectares and encompasses a number of islands, the largest of which is Komodo (34,000 hectares). A total of 112,500 hectares of the surrounding waters is also under the jurisdiction of the park rangers, allowing for the protection of over 1,000 species of fish and hundreds of different corals.
In terms of water temperature and recommendations for wetsuits, on the Komodo cruise you can expect 25C+ (80F+) so usually a 3mm wetsuit is fine but the southern dive sites in Komodo can drop down to 20-25C (70-75F) so some guests prefer a 5mm with hood.
Inclusions: Full board accommodation in double Deluxe Cabin, Shore activities/excursions according to the program, Soft drinks, water, tea, American/Balinese coffee, Five meals per day (including a-la-carte 3 course evening meal), Diving activities (up to 4 dives/day) led by 5 dive guides (ratio guides/divers 1: 3.2), Dive cylinders, weights and weight belts, Transfer from/to embarkation/disembarkation airport, Administration/port clearance fee, National Parks Entrance Fee, Government taxes, Welcome massage (1/2 hour per person)
Exclusions: International and domestic air transportation, Hotels and meals before and after the cruise, Alcoholic drinks, espresso, cappuccino, Dive equipment rental (other than dive cylinders, weights and weight belt), Nitrox refills (180 USD/person for 11 night trips), Massages and Spa treatments (other than welcome massage), Onboard purchases, Private tours, Laundry, On-board telecommunications, Travel insurance, Crew gratuities
