Neomi: the best crew for a dive into paradise
I would like to sincerely thank the entire **Neomi Cruise** staff for accompanying us on this unforgettable week. A special thanks to **Nayomi**, our super instructor and official motivator with a daily bell, always able to push us into action even when our energy was running low! And to the whole dive team, always patient and efficient — **Erik, my personal lifesaver!** Thank you to the captain, the skippers and the engine crew: always smiling, professional, and with impeccable cleanliness on board. A huge compliment to the **kitchen team**: it’s not easy to satisfy demanding Italians when it comes to food… and yet, you absolutely nailed it! **see you at the next adventure!**

Exceeded Expections, wonderful Diving & very comfortable accommodations.
Exceeded Expectations ! Loved leaving out of Fak Fak and diving Pisang Island an unexpected surprise, with beautiful reefs, tons of fish & critters. Misool was gorgeously seductive with pinnacles that boasted Mantas, schooling barracudas, batfish, Sharks, Humphead wrasse, trevally, fusiliers, Mackeral & Soft Coral forests teeming with marine biodiversity. Currents were minimal and weather was sunny with very little rain. Dive Deck was top notch ! Itinerary was well planned. Crew was outstanding ! Loved the food and my cabin was cosy & with good mini split ac to rest in with a nice big attached bath. This ship was a gorgeous stable Phinisi & the crew put out the sails for us on the last day:)

Wonderful liveaboard with a great crew at an affordable price.
Our overall experience was excellent. The crew catered to our every need. We had one non diver with us that was provided daily snorkeling on beautiful coral reefs. Nyoman who is the director is truly the best dive master we have dove with. We had dove in Raja Ampat with him 10 years ago and wanted to dive with him again. It was every bit as good as the first time. We can’t wait to back to Neomi!

The crew was wonderful. The dive guides were excellent and they know the best places in Raja Ampat. Every dive was truly spectacular.. Food was delicious and plentiful.. The boat was very clean and comfortable. We had an upper deck cabin with king size bed and a private balcony. Lots of light with big windows..

Wonderful Raja Ampat Liveaboard
Really beautiful diving in Central Raja Ampat aboard the Neomi. It’s a comfortable, spacious boat with a great crew. Dive groups are small (max four divers per guide), and the dive guides were competent - although note that some dive sites can have challenging currents. Gorgeous coral and abundant marine life. I had a great time.

Sensational tour with a magnificent marine life
A perfect tour from start to finish. The crew, the dive guides and the catering were excellent. The dive sites in southern Raja Ampat and in the Banda Sea were great. There were almost no other divers at the sites, perfect visibility and the corals were in perfect condition. We were able to see hammerhead sharks, manta rays and much more. The cabins were much more comfortable and spacious than on many other dive boats. We would book the trip and the boat again at any time.

Experience of a lifetime in special Raja Ampat!
Diving with reef sharks for the first time in my life was an experience I will never forget. To be equally treasured were the close-ups of manta rays gliding right in front of us. Wobbagong Sharks on multiple dives. Amazingly lucky to see and watch the Raja Ampat Walking Shark on a night dive, for about 3 minutes. The range of coral and marine life in general was breathtaking. Lovely fellow guests on the Liveaboard. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff and crew. While the vegan food was very good, it could have been improved slightly as on occasions there were only some snack choices for non-vegans. I would definitely dive and travel with the Neomi team again! Thank you so much :)

Incredible Biodiversity with Some Room for Improvement
The Highlights My time aboard the Neomi in Raja Ampat was overall a fantastic experience. The underwater biodiversity was staggering, and seeing such healthy, vibrant reefs was a true privilege. The "human" element of the trip was also top-notch. The crew were incredibly friendly, helpful, and provided excellent service throughout the journey. I also found the food to be very good and well-prepared. Having said that, the accommodations and options seemed to be limited for anyone who is gluten free. To top it off, the camaraderie among the guests made the trip truly memorable. Points for Consideration While the trip was great, there were two areas that impacted my experience: Environmental Impact: I was disappointed by my dive guide’s behavior underwater. There was an extreme amount of unnecessary touching of corals and disruption of marine life just to provide us with a better view. As a diver, I would much rather miss a sighting than see an animal agitated or its habitat damaged. I hope the operator can address this with their staff to ensure more sustainable diving practices. Boat Noise: On a structural note, the boat was exceptionally creaky. While expected to some degree on a wooden vessel, the noise level was quite noticeable throughout the trip. Summary Despite these issues, the Neomi offers a wonderful way to see Raja Ampat thanks to its stellar crew and the magic of the location. If the dive guiding becomes more conservation-minded, it would be a perfect five-star experience.

The Neomi was a pleasure to be aboard. The staff made sure that we only needed to focus on diving and having fun. The rental kit was good and safely maintained. The food options were brilliant with us being vegetarians and well accommodated. The diving was brilliant and the turn around from briefing to being in the water was always smooth and quick, we felt in good hands all the way.

Best experience in 15 years
Truly exceptional - I can’t be too positive about my experience on Neomi and it was by some distance my best liveaboard in 15 years. It was exceptional from start to finish and in every dimension. I guess the crew can’t take all the credit for the dives. Sharks on every dive- hunting or sleeping, Octupuses, manta, snakes, Nudis, but they knew where to be when and my dive guide Bawa must have eyes on the back of his head. He doesn’t miss a thing. Every member of the crew made me feel at home and so well cared for. Generous, attentive and all with a smile. The food was great and always plenty of it. My cabin was bright, clean and had pristine sheets, a powerful shower and was cleaned daily. I was travelling alone and shared the boat with the owner, Mr Ronnie, and his beautiful family. It was wonderful to be treated like part of his family all week. There is so much more of Indonesia to explore and I will definitely be booking with Neomi.

Superb Liveaboard
We did the 6D5N Komodo liveaboard. They boat is clean and the rooms are very spacious. The crew was very friendly. The schedule was set perfectly, balancing dives, activities and rest time. Komodo is spectacular, but even better on a liveaboard. It is best to bring your own equipment if you have it. Make sure to let your dive master know your preference as they are great at tailoring dives for you. Lovely trip & highly recommend Neomi.
