Great dive safari
August 20-29, 2026, Halmahera I want to thank cruise leader Frank and the entire Ambai crew for a wonderful diving and holydays. Frank did a great job with perfect and smooth organization of all processes on the boat. Everything was perfectly orchestrated, starting from welcome emails to airport transfers. A great attention was paid to the guests' needs and wishes relating their interests in the underwater world, food preferences, etc. We’ve got a sufficient number of dive-guides with small groups and flexibility for divers of varying experience levels. The cabins were very clean, comfortable, with plenty of space and hot water. The crew was always welcoming and helpful. They are wonderful singers! Very musical team! Starlink was available all the time. The region near Halmahera has very interesting dive sites with preserved coral reefs.

Spectacular
Absolutely spectacular. The crew was very attentive, and hour-to-hour itinerary was well planned. Wake up at 7, dive, nap, breakfast, dive again, lunch, nap, dive, nap, night dive, dinner, repeat. I liked the camera room (fully stocked with batteries and extra gear) and the plan of getting to the dive sites. It was overall very efficient, and the dive guides are great. I would definitely take the Ambai again.

A very well managed trip in one of the best dive locations in the world.
The dive sites were varied and amazing. The dive experience was very well managed and the crew took on the heavy work of moving gear to and from the diving skiff. There was always a support boat in the vicinity of the dive site which speaks to the crews focus on safety and support.

- Dive guides for groups of 4 with guides rotating among the groups. Very well organized trip. Superb coral and sea life.

Great vessel & crew to support an incredible experience
The Ambai was perfect for 11 nights around Raja Ampat. Comfortable boat, spacious enough with great area for lounging in the sun. Decent healthy food, awesome friendly crew. Honestly I'm sure you could pay way more for some extra little luxuries but I found the Ambai delivered on expectations and I didn't want for anything, except maybe to upgrade the choice of whisky on offer (recommend JW Black Label or something.) Compared to the other options I feel like this was good value for money and a wonderful experience.

Well designed boat, very helpful crew. Dive master very good, dive guides very young, some pay attention to divers, others just lead away expect you to keep up, which is fine until you hit a big current.
