10/10 - a thoroughly well organised company, enjoyed every second!
It was thoroughly well put together, with 15 staff to attend to the 12 guests. All the way from engineer, to boat decks, kitchen staff, to dive guides - all were exceptional. The boat itself is incredibly comfortable, with plenty of space to chill in-between dives and rooms are well kept. The food was delicious every meal and we certainly didn't go hungry! Eric and Camille run the whole operation incredibly well, and go the extra mile with non-dive activities such as hikes, shexpert talks (shark expert) and a bit of ornithology. The days are packed but that's a good thing, and it's amazing how much you can fit into the week, with a total of 23 dives. Importantly, they genuinely care about the reef, its inhabitants, and the protection of them which is refreshing. Watching fellow divers smash up the coral with their fins actually ruins holidays but they really keep an eye on this. Thoroughly recommend this organisation if you're considering Raja Ampat.

A trip to remember!
Amazing athmosphere! Raja Ampat is a beautiful location, with a superb variety of marine life. Jelajahi Laut’s crew were excellent pointing out the sealife, and cruise director Abda was excellent picking the dive sites. Really recommend the boat (and the upper deck cabin with panorama windows and a balcony) and the crew!

New boat with amazing boat crew
7/8nights Raja Ampat Central/North. The boat is relatively new with an amazing boat crew (very courteous, also up for a chat, playing cards or chess). The common areas are very functional and fit perfectly for resting, dive briefings and eating. The dive deck has a spacious setup. Diving dinghies are in good shape. Dive guides come from Sulawesi and have very good eyes to spot critters. This was my second trip to Raja and I was surprised to see stunning muck sites (which this boat/crew probably tend to cater more than others, out of 23 dives, 5 were night/muck) and lots of special critters (e.g. wonderpus, flamboyant cuttlefish, blue ringed octopus).

Beautiful diving on a lovely boat!
Terrific boat and crew. Great safety practices and a wonderful onboard culture. This is a great mid-level experience....very comfortable....not the highest end luxury, but good value and good diving. I was both energized by amazing diving and relaxed by a very solid on-board experience. I would definitely dive with Makumba again....looking forward to their new boat in early 2027!
