Highlights
The beautiful Mari liveaboard is a traditional Indonesian phinisi offering year-round diving trips in Raja Ampat, the Banda Sea, and Komodo National Park. Constructed entirely of ironwood and teak, the 30m Mari was refurbished in 2016 to offer modern furnishings and ample onboard space. She caters to a maximum of 14 guests in 7 cabins, ensuring a more personal experience and plenty of room to relax. There are 3 Deluxe and 4 Superior cabins, each offering individually controlled AC, storage space, and private bathrooms. All cabins are on the main deck, so they are bright and well-ventilated. Common areas include the open-air lounge, bar, and 2 sun decks with loungers. The recent addition of a highly-trained chef onboard means that a wide variety of fresh, healthy, and delicious cuisine will satisfy hungry divers. The al-fresco dining table is the perfect place to enjoy a hearty meal surrounded by stunning Indonesian scenery.
The Mari explores the best of Indonesia's dive sites to offer exciting year-round adventures. Divers can explore Komodo National Park on 4, 5, and 10-night trips from July to October. Divers can expect thrilling diving in the national park at world-famous dive sites such as Manta Alley, Castle Rock, and Crystal Rock, diving with manta rays, sharks, and huge schools of fish. In October, the boat moves to Raja Ampat via Flores & the Maluku until April. Explore one of the most diverse marine environments in the world, with the chance to see everything from pygmy sea-horses to whales. The spacious dive deck with gear storage and individual rinse tanks, large dive tender for getting to and from the dive sites, and the recent addition of nitrox availability ensure a comfortable dive liveaboard.

Amazing Experience
We had a wonderful stay on the Mari. Everything was perfect: the welcome and sense of service of the crew, the quality and choice of the different dive sites, the ownership of the boat and the cabins, very comfortable and finally the quality of the tasty and varied food throughout our stay (congratulations to the chef!). A plus: the offer of land excursions when possible.Note that the crew did not hesitate to turn around so that we could admire a magnificent encounter on our return: a Whale!A big thank you to the whole team for this wonderful stay!

Adventure Trip
It was a fantastic and long trip… great crew… they gave me a single room without much extra charge, which fine…It was a very rewarding adventure, the boat is rustic but has charms and is well maintained…The food supply was a bit on the scarce side (set menus, no buffet style, sometimes i went to bed a bit hungry- I had a kilo of peanuts as backup that was worth it)Otherwise great spirits on bord, enthusiastic divers , adventurous trip!Loved it

Amazing trip with lots of color and current
The Mari cruise is amazing. The staff are great and the boat is clean with plenty of outdoor seating. The vessel is able to moor close to many of the dive sites that the trip on the tenders is minutes only. The allow for plenty of time in the water and accommodate requests quickly. The dives themselves were colorful with plenty of wildlife.

Super nice dive trip!
Manta Rays, reef sharks, turtles and sooo many fishes!! Land excursions to beautiful view points. Yummy breakfast after the morning dive and always changing varieties of lunch and dinner even for veg. Nice places on the boat to hang out, especially the sun deck. Cabins very clean and comfortable with air con for hit times in the day and hot shower, very nice after a long exhausting dive! Whole schedule in time, Airport transfer no Problem!
