Scubaspa Zen exceeded all expectations!!
Thanks to Dominic and his whole team for making our week one to remember.... This was truly the best diving and trip experience ever!
Recommended for
For divers, probably the main reason for choosing Scubaspa over another company is the Dhoni, the separate boat that follows the main vessel and that is used exclusively for the dives. It allows both the guests to leave all their gear on board while allowing the Dhoni crew to prepare your equipment and fill up the tanks for your next dive....Truly a game changer!!. The professionalism and friendliness of the staff is without a doubt the reason to return on the Scubaspa Zen.. The overall quality of food, accomodation, spa, dive experience....to name only a few. You simply don't want to leave the vessel after your stay !.

highly recommend. I will be a repeat customer.
It was smooth from airport pickup in rural Kaimana. I was delighted to see the "zen is home" on arrival, and immediately felt home too on sighting the dhoni - the only way to dive. Crew were super friendly and engaging throughout the trip, tailoring details as they got to know you. Cruise director was extremely experienced in hospitality, choosing dive sites and knowledgeable about marine life. so much fun.

Fantastic experience that I would easily recommend
tl;dr ScubaSpa was well worth the price. The large cabins were comfortable, staff was friendly, and the scuba was seamless. This was my first liveaboard and first time in Raja Ampat. Both blew away my expectations. I think a large part of that was due to ScubaSpa. I didn't know if I wanted to do a liveaboard. I've been diving for over a decade but always a few days from shore during my trips. The older I've gotten the more willing I have been to spend money on comfort and convenience. So I worried about being stuck on a cramped boat for a week and doing a lot of dives. That ended up noting being a problem with ScubaSpa. The extra boat (dhoni) they have made diving extremely seamless. Everything was kept on the spacious dive boat, taken care of, and prepared before each dive. The groups were small at 2-4 people and each guide took different paths so that we weren't all crowded. It really made the dives much more enjoyable not having 8 other people try to crowd around a tiny shrimp. The atmosphere was relaxed but efficient. I appreciated having an itinerary and how many dives they packed into our stay. I was afraid of being burnt out by diving, and towards the end I was getting tired, but I found myself being disappointed that I couldn't do even more dives.

Fun 11 days on Scuba Spa in Indonesia
My wife and I had a great time on the scuba spa, Indonesia. My wife doesn’t dive so she did the spa. I did scuba. Our guide Director, Dom, was awesome and very informative. My dive guide, Sammy, was also very knowledgeable and energetic, which was perfect. The food and service Was more than we could ask for. The crew was extremely attentive and pleasant. bottom line. We had a great trip and we look forward to doing it again.

Couldn’t have asked for a better first liveaboard experience
I stayed on Zeb Scuba Spa for a week and would absolutely come back second time. The crew, dive masters and management are an incredible team and work hard to make your stay the best it can possibly be. From the food, the upkeep of the spaces/private rooms, dive planning, accommodation, excursions off the boat and spa were exceptional. We unfortunately were hit with very uncommon rainy weather our week but the team made adjustments and still offered an array of fun activities and dive sites. This was my first time on a liveaboard and I think Zen Scuba Spa set the bar high. I appreciate the efforts of everyone working on that ship and will recommend to anyone interested in an experience like this. Oh and the second boat dedicated to diving and holding equipment/etc was a game changer.

Scubaspa Zen - Unforgettable experience and best dive
They are simply perfect. From the airport pick-up to the wow experience when we first arrived at the Scubaspa Zen, the wonderful, professional crew, the fun times with everyone, the fascinating dives, the tasty food and refreshing fruit, and the shots after diving. We will never forget the unforgettable moments with everyone, including Dom's little dance performances and funny sayings. Thank you all for always being so cheerful, even at 5:30 a.m. with your first coffee, the amazing dive locations, and the professional dive masters. Thank you very much, Niko. You made these days perfect and we always felt safe with you. The two captains always guided us safely to the boat and ashore, and everything on the boats was always clean and beautifully arranged. A big thank you.

Great crew, felt safe all the time. The diving in Raja Ampat really deserves its reputation as the most beautiful coral reef in the world. Food quality is on par with luxury hotel restaurants and the beach bbq is such an amazingly fun idea. The spa therapists are awesome and the variety of massage types is great to keep things refreshing. This is a luxury cruise so although it might be more expensive than other liveaboards, the value for money is excellent.

Incredible experience in every respect. Dom and his crew really took care of us. The diving was amazing. The abundance of fish and corals were like none we have experienced before, just beautiful. Having the Donney to take us out to dive was invaluable and provided the utmost comfort and ease for getting in and out of the water. Food was great and the bartending staff were super friendly and amusing. Amil, our dive master had the best eyes for finding small things as well as pointing out all the amazing large fish before they even came into our view! Thanks to all the crew we had a great trip.
