Set sail on an Indonesian adventure aboard the Akomo Isseki liveaboard. A traditional hand-crafted wooden phinisi, she is crewed by the Bugis sailors of South Sulawesi and offers fantastic dive itineraries in Raja Ampat and Komodo National Park. Four naturally ventilated cabins with twin beds accommodate 8 guests on board. Shared bathrooms feature modern facilities and traditional handicrafts.
Social areas include the communal dining area and a large, partially covered sun deck. Enjoy a selection of freshly cooked Indonesian and Western meals, beach BBQs, freshly baked bread, treats, and hot coffee. Days can be spent lounging on the sun deck in between dives, kayaking, snorkeling, and island visits, and unwinding at the end of the day, enjoying an incredible sunset, the sea breeze, and a cold beer with your fellow dive buddies.
The Akomo Isseki phinisi visits dive destinations, including Raja Ampat, Komodo National Park, and the Banda-Ambon crossing. In Komodo, dive at Karang Makassar and get up close with schools of Manta Rays, enjoy a dusk dive at Palau Siaba to watch the beautiful Mandarin fish perform their mating dance ritual, and walk with Dragons on Komodo Island. Raja Ampat itineraries are offered from November to April and are a divers' paradise. Home to some of the most biodiverse diving in the world, marine life encounters can include wobbegong sharks, pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs galore, dugongs, manta rays, and humpback whales. For the more adventurous, the Spice Island Trail from Ambon to Waisai (or reverse) is not to be missed. This is the chance to dive off the beaten track and explore untouched beauty, with the chance to dive with schooling hammerheads.
Whichever itinerary you choose, the passionate dive guides and attentive boat crew will surely deliver an exceptional trip to remember. Book online today.

Amazing and unforgettable liveaboard.
The week spent onboard the Akomo Isseki has been absolutely fantastic. What I loved the most about this trip were definitely the dive sites and the vibes on the boat. The crew was always smiling and more than happy to help with anything. A special shoutout to Alex and Ono, they have been two fantastic dive guides and I had the pleasure to dive with both of them. I feel so grateful I had to share this experience with my dive buddy Joshua and we are looking forward to join this liveaboard again soon. Thank you!!

Amazing Liveaboard with the best Crew
It was an absolute fantastic week on Akomo Isseki. The boat is perfect, nice comfortable cabins, ideal size for 8 guests. The dive guides were very engaged and showed us the most amazing dive sites and we felt all the time very save. The whole crew was very welcoming and made us smiling every day. The food was excellent with a great variety and many options to choose from.

Already planning a return trip!
The experience was great in all possible ways. The crew was incredibly attentive and kind, the dive guides very knowledgeable (and hilarious) and the cook made some incredible meals (personal highlights were some of the tempeh dishes). Everyone made me feel safe and supported. The quality of the liveaboard is only confirmed by the fantastic people that joined the trip.

Amazing livaboard to explore Komodo, you won't regret booking this boat!
I had the most amazing time on Akomo Isseki. The diving itself is absolutely incredible with beautiful coral and lots of cool things to see. Our crew were just amazing, our freshly prepared food was a huge highlight with lots of variety, fruit, vegetables etc to cater to every taste. Apart from that we were immediately welcomed like family and everyone always had a smile on their face which provided a fantastic atmosphere. Alex is an incredible dive master who helped guide us through the currents as most of us weren't used to dealing with them - he is also super funny and always made us feel safe! The boat itself was really comfortable and has all the basics you need (it did get a little hot sometimes at night but fans were enough for me.) Overall, I can't fault this trip, I was sad to leave all the amazing people I met and all the fishies I saw and would come back again in a heartbeat. Thank you everyone for a trip of a lifetime!!

Super, great value for money..
Keeping in mind this boat has no air conditioning we enjoyed the cabins dorm style with the hatches open and the ventilator providing a gentle breeze I slept well dressed in a very light short and top with no sheet or blanket. When it rained at night the hatches had to be closed. Divesites were nice with a lot of fish and really nice schools on the nothern reefs. Dives have to be timed close to tidal slack or current can be med to strong. Highlite albino manta. We had 3 manta encounter 1 oceanic. 2 reef 1black 1 chevron. 1 albino 5m+.🤩
