Highlights
The Jaya Phinisi Indonesia offers liveaboard dive trips to Raja Ampat from November to May and Komodo from late June to late September. Raja Ampat itineraries visit some of the best areas in the region, including Arborek Island, Penemu, Kawe, Gam, and Mioskon, with the chance of up to 4 dives per day. In the heart of the Coral Triangle, Raja Ampat should be at the top of any diver's bucket list. Komodo itineraries explore world-class dive sites, and an additional option for Rinca for trekking to see Komodo Dragons. Dive groups are kept small - max 4:1, to ensure everyone gets the best out of their Indonesia liveaboard. The dive deck has space for all divers, plus areas to store fins, masks, and wetsuits. There are also freshwater containers for cameras and torches, and the experienced crew is always on-hand with a smile to help out when needed.
The 23m Jaya caters to 14 guests in 7 cabins on the lower deck. There are 4 twin cabins with 2 shared bathrooms, 2 double ensuite cabins, and 1 double with a single ensuite, all with AC, charging sockets, fresh towels, and bedding. The twin cabins are mixed-gender shared (gender neutral). The upper deck has shaded space for relaxing in-between dives and enjoying the stunning Raja Ampat scenery, and the sun deck is equipped with bean bags.

Unforgettable week in La Jaya
Very good experience aboard La Jaya. We did about 3/4 dives every day, before each one, one of the instructors dived to assess the sea conditions, which we think is very good for safety. In addition, we do not coincide with other groups of divers at the dive sites. The divemasters are great and made us enjoy all the dives. Special thanks to our divemaster Edward. The food is very good and the boat is kept very clean. The whole crew was very friendly and helped us with everything we needed. We 100% recommend this experience in La Jaya.

Magical diving with top notch guides with solid value for money
Raja Ampat is magical. Some of the best diving and days I've ever had. The dive guides on Jaya were knowledgeable and highly skilled, able to guide photographers and wanderers with a friendly demeanour at all times The crew were always happy to interact and clearly took pride in providing a great service and making diving and preparation easy. Aside from the mantas, the pygmy seahorse, the sharks, the octopus, the batfish, the coral, the nemos, the cuttlefish, the wobbegong, the nudibranches and the barracuda. Jaya has comfortable chill areas to relax and socialise while spotting whales and dolphins between dives The cabins are basic but with air con and fresh sheets - but I slept like a log every night, maybe due to the action packed days.

- The crew and guides were all excellent - made sure to make you feel at home and point out some hard to find wildlife. the food was plentiful and delicious. the itinerary was well managed with great variation in dive sites and deliberate efforts to dive with as few other boats as possible.

Outstanding crew, Dives and food. One of the best i have done.
My son and I had an amazing trip on Jaya, the crew and dive guides were outstanding and the locations chosen were mind blowing. Food was exceptional, i don't know how chef made that chicken so good and the tempeh may have me as a convert. The other guests were fun and like minded and we all had a great laugh on our downtime. Will treasure the memories.

Bandasea Safari
We had a wonderful stay on board the Jaya (Ambon-Banda-Ambon). Enthusiastic dive guides (Rachel and Erica), dive breefings and dive sites. The days were well organised and everything was well explained. Small groups per guide. Good food (vegan and glutenfree was possible) and a very friendly and helpful crew. The general area of the boat is quite nice. If you have a lower deck cabin, the bathroom is shared. There are also cabins with private bathroom in the front. Would definitely book with Scuba Republic again. The rental equipment (only rented BCD + Reg) was in good shape.
