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.

Wonderful diving. Best crew ever.
Nice ship, very clean and confortable. Everything was perfectly organized. Marco (the dive cruise director) and all the crew were awesome, working hard 24/7 just to keep us happy and very friendly with us. Very good dives, beautiful coral gardens. Crew always keeping an eye on you, everything was always rechecked and seems to feel more safe. Food was nice. I would book again with Ambai for sure.

Probably the best diving overall in my 30 years of diving.
Diving in a huge ball of fish as Mobula Rays darted in and out feeding. The incredibly beautiful soft corals. The sheer volume of marine life.

A round trip in every sense: the dives, the boat's crew, and the food—absolutely delicious. Frank makes you feel right at home, no rushing, just enjoying the trip. We had a great time!
