Wonderful diving holidays on a great boat with a brilliant crew
We were only 9 divers on board, a diving group consisted of 3 guests plus a guide. That was great. The whole crew was super friendly and the food great. We had freshly baked bread every morning.Besides the diving area, which was of course fantastic, it was an all-round relaxed and great trip.

Magic above and below
A diving holiday unforgettable for me with dives, sometimes a bit challenging, in places as remote as they are beautiful. Splendid pearls set in an emerald sea. Wonderful corals in excellent health, for now, refuge for an indescribable amount of fish.

A beautiful boat in a beautiful location
We visited a variety of sites, enjoying both macro life and pelagics like mantas and sharks. When we were in south Komodo, we were virtually alone; only one other dive boat was in the area. The reefs were so healthy with brilliant colors and abundant life. Our divemasters, Sophie and Flo, were wonderful hosts and guides. I enjoyed our shore excursions, hiking a tall peak for a great view and also seeing the Komodo dragons in the park. My week, we only had 7 divers out of the 12 possible, so we got very individualized service (and I had my own cabin!).

- The reefs were in fantastic shape, our divemasters were fun and knowledgeable, and the boat was newly renovated.

Fabulous week in Komodo
We had a fantastic week aboard Emperor Raja Laut diving in Komodo for our honeymoon. Flor and Sophie guided us safely through 20 dives at a variety of sites with knowledge of and respect for the local reefs and wildlife. We saw a huge diversity of wildlife, including manta, turtles, octopus, cuttlefish, and countless nudi, among others. Sprinkled in were land excursions to see a local village, a pink sand beach, and two hikes - one with an incredible view of Padar island. The boat staff was lovely and kept us comfortable throughout our stay. FYI there can be strong current at some sites in Komodo, so this is not an itinerary for freshly certified divers.

The best boat, the best crew, the best diving
It was too good to be true :) Starting with the overwhelming underwater world and ending with every single detail of the trip - everything was unforgettable. The organization of all processes, timing, and crew coordination was at a superb level. As for the boat, I got a twin cabin all to myself at no extra charge (because there were only 11 guests in total). The cabin was very cozy and clean. Despite Raja Laut being a wooden phinisi, and even though my cabin was next to the engine room (and I’m a light sleeper), it was not too noisy for me. I actually loved having only 11 guests on board. It felt much cozier and friendlier that way - more like one team. The food was amazing: very tasty, with a great variety of choices. I have a meat allergy, and it was never a problem. We had 3 land excursions and 22 dives (+1 bonus dive), including one night dive. Personally, I would have loved even more night dives, because the reef life in Raja Ampat at night is even more fascinating. The only slight challenge was sleeping in the equatorial heat if you’re not comfortable sleeping with the air conditioning on. Overall, I’m very glad I chose the Raja Laut boat and the Emperor Divers team. It was the best trip of my life. Thank you!

Wonderful trip on a boat with a lot of charm and comfort and sumptuous dives. Unforgettable 🥰
Wonderful holiday interlude on a dream shooner. Well appointed and comfortable with family (adults). Unforgettable dives on preserved places where an organization and quotas restrict access for the benefit of the underwater fauna and flora but also of the divers🥰. The crew is very well organized. Everything went smoothly, in a good mood, in complete safety and comfort on wonderful places. Congratulations and thank you all. I recommend and will repeat the experience if possible.
