Magnificent
Diving with manta rays, friendliness of the staff and the knowledge of the dive crew. They took us to the sites which they knew would be the best for the conditions and made everything so easy for us. The food on board was incredible, the cabins were clean and comfortable and the trip was very relaxing.

Amazing experience around Komodo
Our stay at Teman exceeded all our expectations! Everything was incredible, and it truly became one of the greatest experiences of our lives. Starting with the crew, Moses and his team were exceptionally friendly and always ready to help. The itinerary was thoughtfully designed to balance diving with other activities such as hiking, trekking, snorkeling, and relaxing on beautiful beaches. When it came to diving, Moses and Alwin proved to be highly skilled and experienced guides. Every dive felt carefully planned to let us safely and joyfully discover the wonders of Komodo’s underwater world. Last but not least, a special applause to the kitchen crew, who delighted us with delicious and tasteful meals throughout the entire journey.

The best 3 days of our trip to Indonesia
It has been an incredible experience. The route was perfectly chosen. The crew is very discreet, friendly and takes care of every last detail. We have felt very pampered and cared for. The food was excellent (and filling). Moses took care to explain everything to us every day and was aware that everything was to our liking. Our snorkel guide, Alex, guided us wonderfully and we were able to see the most spectacular marine wildlife we have ever seen. Our cabin was at the stern, which is spacious and has a very nice window. The only thing to note is that this room is next to the generator and there is more noise to sleep in. You could also sleep perfectly and it is worth it. Finally, everything was very well organized and we never had to wait, everything was perfectly coordinated. We will return if we have the opportunity to a route with more days, and we recommend the experience 100%.

Unforgettable Liveaboard Experience!
We had an incredible time on our liveaboard trip! The diving was absolutely amazing, with a variety of vibrant marine life and well-organized dive excursions. In between dives, the land-based activities added an extra layer of adventure and were a great way to explore the area. Our cabin exceeded expectations—spacious, clean, and very comfortable, making it easy to relax after a full day. The crew truly made the trip special; they were always friendly, attentive, and eager to help with anything we needed. And the food—wow! Every meal was delicious, with plenty of variety and fresh ingredients. Overall, it was a fantastic trip from start to finish. Can’t wait to do it again!

Excellent Trip... Highly Recommended for Raja Ampat
There were only 5 guests including two of us on the boat. There were 12 crew members including two dive masters. Two of us were lucky enough to have Moses, the cruise director, as our dive master. Above water, Moses was good at planning the dives and giving us detail briefing before each dive. He was also good at finding overnight shelters since there were many storms. He made sure the crew would help us in all ways before and after dives. Well managed team! Underwater, Moses was eager to point out things for us to see. He was an excellent dive master. We did our safety stops by diving in shallow water. That was great since there was so much to see at about 5m. The rest of the service was impeccable. Every detail was well thought of; water before dives, ginger tea for after dives. The food was delicious. Helping us in and out of boats, looking after our wet suits and cameras was done well. Two of us had the three person cabin. The bed was very comfortable. There were ample storage and shelves. The air conditioning and bathroom set up worked well. Do beware that the shower would get everything wet. The coral was gorgeous but there was bleaching and some sites showed much damage from being overdived. There were so many different kinds of fish that we could hardly keep up. Visibility was poor to ok while we were there. The amount of garbage in the ocean was staggering. Very sad to see that. What is worst is coming up from a dive and be in the middle of a garbage patch. The dive masters tried to avoid that as much as possible but some of it was unavoidable. Since we only did 14 dives over basically six days, we did other activities. - trekked through the jungle to the Blue River It was clear and magical - walked up to the top of Piaynemo with an unforgettable view of these tiny islands scattered like jewels (this view is printed on the 100,000 rupee note) - we spent an afternoon on a private island. It was a priceless experience The one place that may need a little attention is on the equipment. A little refreshing would be nice. This’s my 4th liveaboard and definitely the best. Highly recommend it to anyone thinking of diving in Raja Ampat.
