Indonesia
Raja Ampat, Banda Sea, and Halmahera aboard the Damai II
October 30- November 10, 2027*
*does not include international travel days
Indonesia is a dream destination for divers. This vast archipelago of over 17,000 islands offers endless opportunities to explore colorful reefs, warm waters, and extraordinary marine life
The Damai II is a handcrafted Indonesian phinisi built for comfort and space. With a small guest capacity, open decks, and luxurious cabins, it provides an intimate liveaboard experience. Between dives, unwind with a massage, enjoy fresh local and international meals, or watch the sunset from your private deck as the boat sails toward the next dive site.

Our journey aboard the Damai II takes us through three of Indonesia’s most iconic regions: Raja Ampat, the Banda Sea, and Halmahera. Each area offers its own signature experience: the kaleidoscopic coral reefs and manta cleaning stations of Raja Ampat, the dramatic drop-offs and pelagic encounters of the Banda Sea, and the uncrowded, vibrant slopes of Halmahera.
