Highlights

Itineraries are 7 to 15 nights long and are carefully planned to explore the remote areas of Indonesia to give you the best possible dive experience. Onboard dive facilities include 2 x 22ft aluminum tenders for drop-off and pick-ups at the dive site, and the well-trained crew members will take care of transporting the gear. Photographers are specifically catered to with large camera tables and camera rinse buckets on the dive deck and a large camera room with charging and workstations. The crew is experienced in handling all types of camera setups. Four divemasters ensure small group sizes and amazing dives. Nitrox is also available free of charge for those certified.

Social areas include the indoor air-conditioned lounge and dining area with entertainment and a library. Freshly prepared meals and snacks are served here with Western and local cuisine.

The best liveaboard I’ve been on!
Eating and the after dive drinks. Hot teas and fresh juices. The manta rays and dive guides worked well with the needs of our group! Felix’s briefings where honest and he is very entertaining.

A great way to dive the Ring of Fire
Exploring numerous walls, seeing pristine hard and soft coral gardens and being up close with hammerheads.

Nice liveaboard and great diving
The crew and food was fantastic. Rooms were nice. Only complaint was the dive guides did not point out as many things as other dive guides we had on other liveaboards. Divers were put into groups with others with similar dive ability. Dives ended on air or time (~60 minutes). Crew was very careful with camera equipment.

Beautiful boat, immaculate service, and a great time!
Spending four days in Misool, where the sites were spectacular for both divers and snorkelers, was the high point. The lookout at Pianyemo was spectacular, as was the lagoon site nearby. Sitting on the prow of the boat at sunset made for wonderful memories. Night dives and a special night snorkel for the non-diver were fantastic!

Great trip thanks to a great crew
If you book with Seahorse you get a great crew and great dive guides. When the boat is full it is a 4:1 ratio. The Seahorse is an old boat and the rooms are small; the toilet and shower are on top of each other in a small bathroom (you shower over the toilet). The outside area is very comfortable and a great place to be. The inside is not particularly pleasant. Although adequate, the rooms are poor for the price you pay. The food is also adequate but probably the worst food I have had in 5 previous liveaboards in Indonesia (all other trips were cheaper). In summary the price is not justifiable and trips should be 20-30% cheaper, they also add on a fuel surcharge. You should choose this boat if diving is your main and overwhelming factor for going, if not you can probably get better value elsewhere for the quality of the boat. Lets just hope they pay the crew well as this is what you are paying for!

An utterly fantastic trip
The crew does an amazing job at making you feel welcome. The food is really good, diverse and plentiful. The ship has all you need. And most importantly, the dive sites are superb and so is the knowledge and experience of both the guides and the director. I’ll come again!
