This 10 night liveaboard itinerary explores the North and South regions of Raja Ampat in Indonesia and is all about diversity – not only diversity of species, but also of dive sites. There are some areas where soft corals and sea fans dominate, others with an amazing range of hard corals, seagrass beds, mangroves, shallow reefs, drop offs, caves, black sand and white sand. Then there are the fish, lots of them, in more shapes and sizes than anywhere else in the world.
Raja Ampat is huge! Covering a total area of around 50,000 sq km, and encompassing hundreds of islands, it offers an astounding diversity of habitats, which translates to wildly different diving experiences.
In many places brightly coloured soft corals can be found close to the surface which, with perfect visibility and bright sunlight, create stunningly beautiful dive sites and spectacular photo opportunities. You even get to dive in some habitats that are endemic to Raja Ampat, the most representative of which is the clear water mangroves with corals growing right next to them.
Not only are there a massive amount of fishes in Raja Ampat, but all the levels of the food chain are well represented, with many species that are endemic to the area. You may encounter anything from pygmy seahorses to top predators; Wobbegong sharks and epaulette sharks are just two of the more unusual creatures can be found in the waters that make up Raja Ampat.
Built in 2022, the 47m Indo Master liveaboard was built on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi and is handcrafted from ironwood and teak (traditional to the area). You will find no other diving liveaboard as beautiful in Indonesian waters and, being built by divers for divers, you can be rest assured that every need has been thought of and addressed.
Welcoming a maximum of 18 guests per cruise ensures that there is ample space to relax. The 9 guest cabins consist of 4 fixed doubles, 4 fixed twins and 1 family suite (2 double beds), all with air-conditioning and private ensuite bathrooms with hot water.
The spacious air-conditioned saloon offers a great setting for your meals and dive briefings, a cocktail bar, comfortable seating, a charging station and a large flat-screen TV.
The dive deck has personal storage space for masks and other small equipment items and is likely to be one of the most spacious and comfortable you will have come across. Designated areas for charging and preparing camera and video equipment, as well as separate rinse tanks, make Indo Master a top choice for underwater photographers and videographers.
The vessel also benefits from 2 high-powered Zodiacs, kayaks, laundry and massage services.

Raja Ampat is a haven for a variety of shark species, making it an ideal habitat to witness these majestic creatures in their natural element. Blacktip, whitetip, and grey reef sharks thrive in the area, thanks to the abundance of prey in the ecosystem. These top predators are fascinating to watch as they cruise in search of their next meal.
At deeper depths, four species of walking sharks reign supreme. These include tasselled and ornate wobbegongs, as well as two species of epaulette sharks, which may wriggle and “walk” across the sea floor, but are in fact skilled predators.
Wobbegongs and epaulette sharks are typically found in shallow temperate and tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean and eastern Indian Ocean, particularly around Australia and Indonesia. However, in 2013, one of the epaulette species was discovered near Halmahera Island in Raja Ampat and was named Hemiscyllium Halmahera, making it a unique and special part of the area’s marine life.
Liveaboard diving is widely regarded as the ultimate way to experience an unforgettable diving vacation. For many seasoned divers, this type of adventure is essential for exploring remote destinations, such as Costa Rica’s Cocos Islands or The Galapagos Islands. Liveaboard charters offer the unique opportunity to explore vast areas and dive different parts of a country, such as the Maldives or Raja Ampat.
A liveaboard is a purpose-built scuba diving vessel or an existing boat that has been adapted to cater to divers. These trips typically last longer than one night, with the average duration being 7 nights. Liveaboard boats can host between 12 and 30 divers, although smaller and larger vessels are also available. Most liveaboard packages include diving, food, and drinks.
Raja Ampat presents some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. With clear blue waters, bright white sands, and dense tropical forests, it is no surprise that travelers from every corner of the earth are drawn to this idyllic haven.
Three of Raja Ampat’s finest beaches—Pasir Timbul, Sawinggrai, and Yenbuba—offer a kaleidoscope of experiences that cater to every visitor’s desires.
