I can't imagine better diving.
Komodo is an incredibly special place. Gorgeous above and below the water. The boat, crew and fellow divers were all amazing.

Amazing liveaboard, beginner- and solo traveller friendly
Had an amazing 4 days at Nusantara with Mikumba diving. The boat is very basic, but has everything you need. The food was very good and there is so much variety, each meal was different but delicious! The boat crew is so incredibly friendly and helpfull. The rental gear is of perfect quality. The diveguides were very professional and gave extensive briefings of the dive site. I’m still a beginner diver but the briefings made me feel very prepared and comfortable. The divesites are phenomenal and the guides really take all the conditions in consideration. There was flexibility to change the planning to try to give us the best experience. I would definitely reccomend this to everyone. Still sad that it’s over already.

Unforgettable Honeymoon Trip – Expert Crew & Incredible Diving
Unforgettable Honeymoon Trip – Expert Crew & Incredible Diving We spent 4 days and 3 nights on the Nusantara with Mikumba Diving, and it was easily a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Being here for our honeymoon made it special, but the Nusantara staff made it world-class. The Highlights: • The Crew: Truly exceptional. They handle everything—from assembling your gear to helping you with your fins before you jump. You barely have to lift a finger. • The Diving: Our dive masters were experts at navigating the conditions. We had about a 60/40 split of heavy current vs. non-current dives. • Conditions: In early April, visibility ranged from 25m down to 10–15m. The team was great at explaining how the sites and visibility shift (Central vs. North) depending on the season. • Life on Board: The food was awesome with a huge variety. Between dives, the upstairs beanbag area is the ultimate place to relax. • The Bunks: Sleeping quarters can get warm, but there are fans in every bunk and portholes in the top bunks for airflow. We will remember this trip forever—not just because of the beautiful locations, but because of the incredible Nusantara team. If you’re heading to Komodo, this is the way to do it!

Most incredible experience!
I loved every bit of my trip on Nusantara. The crew were absolutely amazing - always helpful, taking extra care of us, expert on the dive sights, providing us with delicious food and refreshments. The diving was incredible - such life on the coral and great sightings. Seeing the Komodo dragons was great, and the sunset hike was beautiful. The fun, young and experienced other guests were an added bonus! Thank you all!

Brilliant budget liveaboard
Highly recommend this brilliant liveaboard! The crew were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our trip and the food was delicious. The dives themselves were awesome - we felt very safe with the guides (Sahril and Faldes) and the equipment was all in good condition, they also catered well to divers of different levels and adjusted dive groups according to air consumption. All the dives and land excursions during the trip were timed so we were the only group there which was an added bonus. During the trip we slept on the upper deck and it was very comfortable, the bunk beds downstairs were large and comfortable as well. Fantastic value for money!

Fantastic all around!
This was the highlight of my 3 week trip to Indonesia. I went as a solo and got lucky with a great crew of fellow divers from around the world, all younger 20-30s. The boat was really nice and roomy. I slept in the cabin below one night and found it comfortable with lots of room to spread out. The second night I slept up on the deck under the stars which was even better. The crew were super friendly and helpful. And the dive sites - WOW! I am an experienced diver, but this was my first liveaboard. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!
