A great Raja Ampat trip
We've done both Komodo (2019) and Raja Ampat (2025) on the Mermaid I and we've enjoyed both trips very much! Super easy logistics, towels and drinks after each dive (and hot drinks after each night dive!). Long 70 minute dives (60 for night dives) with 4 divers per guide. A plus that they now have Starlink internet also!

The exceptional teamwork of the crew, together with the diversity of diving from the muck dives in Lembeh to the pelagics of Tifore and the excitement of Raja Ampat made this trip A1.
Muck diving in Lembeh. Dani's first marlin! Oceanic mantas and Gin o' Clock with Mike and Paivy!

Flawless liveaboard in pristine Raja Ampat
From start to finish, this was an extraordinary experience! 29 dives on pristine dive sites with unparalleled marine life diversity. I had the great pleasure of being assigned resident videographer Marcelo as my dive guide. His passion and knowledge of all things great and small in the ocean really enhanced my experience and raised my game as a diver and UW photographer. I dived with the other guides as well and they were all exceptional. During the 8 days of diving we encountered all kinds of macro life imaginable, along with manta rays, sharks, wobbegongs, enormous schools of barracudas and so on. Diving in the mangroves was a definite highlight. Boat operation is flawless, with an exceptionally friendly crew going the extra mile to ensure a great dive experience, such as dry towels and hot drinks after dives. Very much appreciated. A special shoutout to the cooks onboard who prepared plentiful and varied meals and snacks which were delicious regardless if it was Asian or Western food. The boat itself is in very good condition and the cabins are very comfortable. All in all, I had an awesome experience onboard Mermaid I and I cannot wait to return to explore other parts of Indonesia.
