The Ratu Laut - meaning Queen of the Sea, offers year-round liveaboard diving in Indonesia. At 30m long she caters to just 12 guests in 2 large quad cabins and 2 smaller twin cabins. All cabins feature AC, fresh towels, and linen. 2 shared bathrooms are located on the upper deck. Also on the upper deck is a large open-air shaded dining area and lounge. The top deck is home to the sun deck with sunbeds and bean bags.
Diving focuses on Raja Ampat, and the cruise director will choose the best dive sites on the day based on the weather, currents, and tides. Divers can expect to do up to 4 dives per day, including a sunset or night dive. The captain, dive guides, and crew of the Ratu Laut have years of experience in the Indonesian waters. The Ratu Laut phinisi is operated by Barefoot Conservation NGO, and all profits from the trips go towards science, research, and conservation programmes, so you can rest assured that you are helping the marine environment when you dive with the Ratu Laut. Marine Biologists and Manta Ray Scientists will also be on the trip to collect data and do presentations on the research being conducted on manta rays.

Great first liveaboard experience covering Central and North Raja Ampat!
The diving is exceptional and way exceeded what we were expecting! The crew is amazing; very good at what they do! The food was mainly traditional indonesian cuisine which we thoroughly enjoyed. Otniel, Opes, and Onkor were all awesome and very passionate dive guides. Could seriously use some marine life identification guides on the boat to complement the amazing array of life we saw on our dives.

Great weather. Great conditions. Excellent diversity of dive sites. The huge, dense schools of fish were the highlight for me. I’ve never seen so many fish in one dive

in shortest time the best views of my life... yet!
The manta rays were the very best followed by "Melissa's Garden", "blue magic", "my reef" and the short meeting with a dolphin under water. But definitely the group and the crew and my instructor were also absolutely worth of joining this trip. Thank you very much!

Paradise found: Ratu Laut, the dream making crew
Experiencing Raja Ampat with dive masters who truly love the place is a major highlight. It was apparent that the crew knew what they were doing and the knowledge they passed to us enriched the entire experience. The entire focus of the trip was dive dive dive and we never missed a beat.

- I would say the location was the best thing and dive sites, but never have I had the pleasure to sail with such an amazing crew who created the experience of a lifetime. Wendy, our leader, put together an action packed week and still managed to keep it chill. The entire time felt like an itinerary tailor made for the small amount of guests onboard. And knowing our money is going towards conservation efforts is a major bonus as well.
