Unforgettable Liveaboard Experience on the Phinisi Eliya
Exceptional service, professionalism of the crew made me feel genuinely cared for both on deck and underwater. As a refresher diver, their commitment to safety and vigilant support enabled me to dive with peace of mind.

Highly recommended!
Very knowledgeable crew making sure that everyone on board was safe and well taken care of. Schedules adapting according to sudden weather changes or divers conditions. Seamless organisation the moment we landed in the airport all the way to the boat and back to the airport. We also appreciate the crew and company’s clear prioritisation of safety and sustainability very much. Our crew director Luke also made sure that our every need was well taken care of.

Great dive experience over multiple sites
I’ve always wanted to do a live aboard - and this trip exceeded my expectations in terms of locations , dive guides , food and set up - very much focused on creating and delivering an excellent dive experience For me after a long break from diving was given opportunity to get comfortable and reignite diving skills Excellent reefs , colourful corals hard and soft , plenty of ready fish , sharks, turtles and while I missed out on the manta did see dugong and dolphins

Awesome.
The crew where really good and attended to every detail. The boat was in tip top shape with everything working and plenty of room for everyone. Food was awesome. One of the best dive boats ive ever been on. The only let down was most dive sites in Komodo where crowed underwater and could not help but think it was the reason why at times we saw little to nothing. No reflection on the crew or the boat thought and we did get some exceptional diving in and an awesome experience.

Don't Hesitate - Komodo is Calling!
My daughter and I joined the Eliyah for the Komodo for a 6 day/ 5 night liveaboard in Aug 2025. Prior to joining all the formalities were taken care of. The team clearly communicated all the requirements and for my daughter to complete her AOW onboard. Once onboard, the crew went above and beyond to make sure the trip was memorable. Detailed briefings were made for each dive and prior to the next day so all guests were on the same page. Komodo area has some fast currents and the tour leader (Max) was familiar with all the SOPs to make sure each dive was conducted safely with consideration to all guests abilities. The information was conveyed clearly with detailed hand drawn dive site maps for reference. Food onboard was a good mix for each meal. It is buffet style/ shares dishes between all guests. The boat is well maintained and all areas are kept clean. There is plenty of space for 12 guests to find areas onboard to unwind, stay in the shade and relax. The entire crew was extremely helpful and always willing to go the extra mile, always with a smile. Max joined for all shore excursions despite likely doing them for them 100th time. He was always enthusiastic and positive. With his ability to converse in Bahasa with the crew fluently it was really helpful. As a retired diving instructor I was really impressed by the entire experience onboard Eliyah and cant wait to go back!
