Fabulous Crew, Amazing Food, and a Balanced Dive Trip
Diving at Puri Pinnacle and Shadow Reef. The crew of the Ambai are all truly fantastic, caring, thoughtful, fun, people. They made us feel like family and we left not only with an amazing dive experience, but friends.

- The camera room was great, the guides and host so so friendly and accommodating, also was great the boat wasn’t full so plenty of space
Friendly crew, mediocre food and very french
Some of the dive guides didn't dive as briefed/planned, but just stuck to their macro routine. So with only 3 day dives in Triton, I barely saw the beautiful soft corals (but lots of sand). Mainly french guests, so for the few non-french guest you're stuck with each other. Little/no choice in food and some curious culinary combinations, made for a mediocre food experience. Crew is friendly and boat is great. But I would only recommend the Ambai to french people who are into macro diving.

Amazing dive trip
The whole crew make this trip so amazing. They are young and passionated in what they do. The selection of the dive sites were very variated. From macro to sharks and a lot of baracudas. We will go definitely back on this boat again.

The Ambai really took good care of their guests & really made it a memorable trip to RJ.
Diving in Raja Ampat (of course!), hiking to some look out points and the beautiful beach BBQ the crew prepared for New Year.
