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.

Great overall experience
The variety in marine life (several species of sharks, manta, lots of fish, sea turtles and more!) was amazing! Although both the staff and the other guests could be more aware of the marine environment when diving. The boat was nice and the food was delicious. Overall great experience!

Top value for money
We took an 11 day trip to Misool and Dampier. The crew and dive guides led by Ungcke were very friendly and absolutely professional. There were no errors – and if there were, we didn't notice them. The food was also superb. If you order in advance, you get very good vegetarian or vegan food (you get an extra portion of almost every normal dish). Only our cabin (No. 7) was really very very small. On normal days we were able to dive four times (31 dives in 11 days) and visited all known dive sites. We would book our next trip to Raja Ampat with Mari again:)

Friendly staff and wonderful experience!
it was definitely one of the best liveaboard experiences I have ever had so far. We saw sharks, small stuff, manta and knew many new species. Despite the weather was not that good sometimes, the staff managed to keep us safe and sound and provide excellent service in storm. We enjoyed every dive especially in Balak Island, where we saw manta out of blue, without having to fight against strong current. The dive master joked that we could name that dive site since it is a new discovery for them as well.

Fantastic clean new liveaboard
The night dives were amazing and one of the dive guides was really good at pointing out interesting critters. Little side excursions were perfect and Holger was very flexible with taking the small boat to snorkel sites. Crew is good and polite, great with taking care of all your gear.
