Outstanding Diving Expedition in Raja Ampat
Outstanding experience overall.

- Safety and smoothness of the operation. Hospitality of the entire crew working in synchrony. Beautiful landscape above and under the water.
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.

- The boat was very comfortable, the crew were outstanding and went out of their way to make sure every need was accommodated, and the diving was professionally undertaken from start to finish.
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.

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!

- Seahorse phinisi has everything you need to dive Raja Ampat. What makes it stand-out is the teamwork of the crew. They know exactly what divers want and make-sure you enjoy your visit. Airport meet and greet, through attention to every detail of diving, to fascinating onshore hikes and barbecues to impromptu on-deck singalongs.
