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 Trip 7D/6N Raja Ampat
We had a really nice trip in March 2019. The trip was exactly like the description. The crew was so helpful and friendly. There was a lot of good food at any time. Before every dive there was a good briefing and the divemasters have a lot of experience. We were 11 guests divided into 3 dive groups. We saw the walking sharks, Mantas, a lot of macros and so much more! We really can recommend to dive with Mari in Raja Ampat.

Very good diving experience
Good dives and comfortable atmosphere. Maybe you shouldn't swap dive plans for another activity. Good nitrox and possibility of 15 liter tanks. Very interesting activities and added visits.

wonderful holiday on a great boat with unforgettable dives
I highly recommend diving with the Mari team. They provide unforgettable holidays, wonderful experiences and a great atmosphere. The crew tries to take care of every client, they try to fulfill all wishes - even the really impossible ones. The service is great, the food is insanely delicious, the dives are priceless! What you can meet and see underwater exceeds all expectations. You can really feel exceptional and wonderful. 🤩 I will definitely come back on a cruise with Mari. I am already planning the next routes, because the boat sails not only on Raja. With this team you can travel the world!! I highly recommend, no one will definitely feel disappointed or let down! I wish everyone such people on their path of life ☺️😁
