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.

Incredible experience on Jaya
I spent a week on Jaya, it was amazing! I was lucky as there was only 10 out 14 people in this trip which allowed me having a room to myself. Not sure if Id feel the same way if i had to share the room with another person as they are quite tiny. I also loved the food overall great diversity and taste.. the cook even prepared a bday cake on my bday on board. Lastly, the dive crew was super nice, attentive and knowledgeable. They gave us briefings with all the details and helped out whenever we had questions. Rest of the participants were also at similar levels in their diving journeys which made it somehow easier to connect, but also everyone was social and so we played bunch of games and socialised in between dives. Two relatively negative feedback: one is regarding the route. We circled around a very small area in the end, and some of the sites felt like were chosen just to fit enough dives in this small area. There could be a little more diversity in diving sites including wrecks, caves, or other parts of Raja Ampat - regardless of that, what we could observe was incredible including Manta Rays and reef sharks. The second feedback is about charges and fees.. you will need to pay approx 20-25% of the boat cost on board due to gear rental (most of it not included in the original cost), entry fees for marine park, harbour parking cost etc. It felt like some of this cost should have been included in the price but this practice may not be unique to Jaya.. just be aware when you make your finance planning.

Trip of a lifetime, cool group and cool dives
I had an amazing time on Jaya. The trip was very well organized, I enjoyed all the activities on and off board. The diving was spectacular and so were the land visits we did. We had a really fun group that paired also well with the guides. Rachel, Erika, Fandi and Ed our dive guides made sure we had great experiences under water and everyone sticked to the explained safety rules. I will definitely be back on Jaya!

11 Days Ambon to Waisai
I loved every Minute of those 11 days on the Liveaboard Jaya. What an awesome and experienced team. Would definitely go again. Just to make sure, bathrooms are shared, unless you have a private one in the cabin. There is no nitrox

The best.
Such an incredible trip. The Jaya crew and divemasters were very welcoming and also so fun. The food was incredible and they catered to different dietary restrictions without compromising on quality of food. The boat was simple but comfortable and well organized. The diving was amazing. I had a bit of trouble with equipment and they were prepared and quick to fix it. Best diving trip I've ever been on.

Awesome experience all around!
Manta ridge(woke up early so we were first on the sometimes busy dive site. This insider info assured we has the best views for the mantas saw over 10 on that one dive). The land visit to pianemo had amazing views and two of the crew carry up as many beers as you want. All the food was delicious and varied even for being out as sea for so long. Room was comfortable especially after such long days filled with activities.
