Iconic Manta Alley and Whale sharks await you.
Loved the trip, but I had difficulty on the tougher current dives, mainly due my age to push through the currents to hook on points. The natural beauty of the areas we travelled through were a real highlight together with the gorgeous sunsets.

Fantastic crew and great group of divers. Dive sites were fabulous. Well organised dive deck enhanced by using "waves" of divers to kit up and not overcrowd the dive deck..

Superb Dream Dive Sojourn in Raja Ampat
Second Superb dream dive sojourn in Raja Ampat on Mermaid 2 🧜🏼♀️Absolutely INCREDIBLE DMs & ship crew. Very delicious food, great Itinerary & rental gear. Raja Ampat is a dream dive destination full of natural beauty. Needs our protection & preservation as a Unesco World Heritage Site. Extremely grateful & thankful for all the work that goes on behind the scenes to make it possible to dive into this extraordinary region of intense biodiversity. Highlights of trip were the gorgeous Pinnacle Dives, Marine Critters & sightings of Omura Whales :)

Phenomenal boat, crew, and diving!
We had an incredible experience diving with Mermaid II in Raja Ampat. Luca was a wonderful cruise director, Agus was a phenomenal guide, and the entire crew was very friendly and professional. We completed all 29 dives and they were all special in different ways. So much life out there! The boat was very well-kept and the meals were delicious (vegan options, too!). Everyone on the trip had a lovely time and we will definitely keep Mermaid in mind for future visits to Indonesia. Thank you guys so much!

It was an unforgettable experience for both diving and landing on several islands.
The Mermaid 2 and her crew were an absolute delight. From delicious and plentiful food to comfortable cabins to an amazing massage, I felt well taken care of and pampered the whole time. The dive sites were great - from giant whale sharks and dancing mantas to adorable cuddle fish, bobtail squid, and baby octopus, we were treated to some seriously epic diving. The staff was warm and funny and made the trip very enjoyable. Our guide Bram was amazing, finding and pointing out a ton of cool tiny things. Luca kept us laughing (and guessing, his joking sarcasm rivals my own) and well informed. Desi may be the star though; incredibly sweet, attentive, warm, and she gives really amazing massages. No trip is perfect and there were a few hiccups, mostly of my own making (I leaned an important lesson about slowing down and double checking gear after flooding my camera), but this trip was pretty close. Not only that but all the other passengers were delightful! Swiss, German, English, American, Canadian, Belgian...a nice international mix of really great humans. Be careful playing Monopoly with Bob though, he looks innocent but he's really a shark!

The big stuff - whale sharks, mantas, and komodo dragons!. The small stuff - tiny octopus, bobtail squid, and nudis. The staff - friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and highly amusing.

The corals in Raja Ampat are pristine and varied and the colours amazing. The fish life was superb with great variety and plentiful schools ... some great manta dives also!
Dive staff were very friendly and professional, and added to the whole experience.

Best week ever
This trip over-delivered and was quite wonderful. Such beautiful places, with three or four dives most days, all fascinating in their way, and brilliantly led by the dive masters. The cruise director was brilliant, looking after the less experienced divers, and kept the atmosphere fun and light while imparting a lot of information. Food was good, lots of variety and catered to all tastes, with an amazing four meals a day. As a snorkeller I was really well looked after, as was all our kit. The trip delivered on three big bucket list items in a spectacular way.

Beautiful Raja Amput
Manta, Wobbegong Shark, walking shark, pygmy seahorses, many types of Nudi. Ble water mangroves
and archer fish. Visibility is variable due to weather. Service and food is excellent. Dive masters are great. Clear and consistent communication. Range of nationalities as guests. Safety conscious. If you are a less experienced diver like me, ensure you leave room in your budget for hiring a dive computer and Nitrox and or Nitrox course. Hire equipment is excellent but not cheap. Definitely bring your own if you can. Also a dive torch. They will definitely look after you.
