Raja Ampat Liveaboard Dive Trip | February 13–22, 2027

Raja Ampat Indonesia 

Raja Ampat, which in Indonesian means the Four Kings, is a Marine Park world renowned for being the epicentre of marine biodiversity. With over 80% of the world’s total coral species, over 1300 species of fish, 6 of the 7 species of sea turtle and 27 varieties of marine mammals. A small selection of what you may encounter are; 5 different species of sharks, including the Wobbegong shark, manta rays, batfish, groupers, pygmy seahorse, octopi, nudibranch, frogfish, wasp fish, mantis shrimp, pipefish, plus schooling jacks, barracudas, fusiliers and sweetlips…the list just goes on and on! The park covers a large area with approximately 170 nautical miles separating the northern and southern extremities. It would be possible to dive for weeks and weeks without seeing the same sites twice

Emperor Harmoni Live-aboard

Spend 10 Days on one of the latest Luxury Live-aboard in Indonesia. Launched in 2022, she has been designed and built taking into consideration Indonesia’s unique conditions; harnessing the Emperor team’s extensive experience in liveaboard and charter vessels to meet the very highest standards and expectations. Built from Sulawesi Ironwood and one of only a select few liveaboards in this region to have two engines, at 160 feet (48m) she happily welcomes 24 guests in 12 well-appointed ensuite cabins all with air-con. Stuart Scuba have reserved 8 Premium Cabins on Emperor Harmoni for these dates in prime diving season in Raja Ampat.

Dive Experience 

Dives in Raja Ampat are typically between 20-30 metres (60-90 feet), back entry from Large RIB's (Rigid Inflatable Boat). Moderate currents are typical at the Manta feeding and cleaning stations so Reef Hooks are used (provided onboard). Every Diver must have Dive Computer and SMB (Surface Marker Buoy). Minimum Certification Level is Advanced Adventure or equivalent with Nitrox and 30 logged Dives. Stuart Scuba Instrutors are available to up your certification and skills so you get the maximum from this trip. Whether is improving Buoyancy and Gas Consumption, delayed deployment of SMB or getting that awesome photo/video of that Manta Ray or Wobbegong Shark.
