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.

Unforgettable trip
We had a wonderful 10 days on the Jelajahi Laut! The whole crew around Camille and Eric gave everything to offer us an unforgettable trip in Raja Ampat. Eric's briefings before each dive were designed so that every diver knew exactly what to expect and that helped a lot, especially on some drift dives, which were quite challenging. Also, the protection of the reef is pointed out again and again and that you should not touch or break anything. We thought that was very good. They have carefully selected the dive sites and tried their best to avoid diving with other boats as much as possible. The diving groups consisted of a maximum of 4 people per guide, which was a reason for us to book this boat. In general, there is room for a maximum of 12 guests on the boat and we had a great group! Our Seaviewcabin was lovely, the view of the small islets from the bed was wonderful. Since it is a wooden boat, it sometimes dripped in a bit during heavy rain, but that didn't bother us. :) One afternoon, Matt, a naturalist, came on board to tell us more about sharks and manta rays, which was very exciting. We also liked the shore excursions, the aperitif on the beach and the trip to Jellyfish Lake very much. Everything was always prepared with love and cold drinks were always included.We can recommend the Jelajahi Laut to anyone who is looking for a family atmosphere, good security and fine food and attaches importance to taking care of our underwater world. Many thanks to Cam & Eric, Arisman, Saldi & Basir, Jamal & Dasir, Burhan & Kipli, Ramli & Romi, Elim & David and Kris & Dani. We would love to come back.

Great liveaboard experience
Beautiful dive sites . Great schedules of the dives and activities. Amazing local crew. For the food, the chef did its best with a lot of options ; it did not fully match our taste and we once were sick due to food but I know that the other divers were very pleased with the food . The Cruise directors were also good and did their best ; I would have appreciated that my dive guide shows more calm during the dives sometimes but overall a great experience.

11 days in a flash..
An all-round successful diving trip went by much too quickly, the reefs and very good condition, rich in fish and a manta dive that knocked our socks off...

- Eric and Cami and the whole staff. Choice of divespots, briefings, preparation of equipment and accompaniment. Good day planning and interspersed alternatives (hikes).

Incredible experience and so worth the expense
I would 100% book again. The diving was incredible but the staff were what made the trip so memorable. Eric and Camille provided the perfect balance. Eric created a wonderful energy to every day. Whether it was his music in the morning or before a dive, or his enthusiasm in running the boat. Camille provided the reassuring calm that enabled one to feel like everything had been thought of. The staff throughout were exceptional. The diving spoke for itself. Whether it was an intense, current infused dive or a tranquil drift over vibrant coral… there was something to please every diver at every level.
