Amira

Amira is a 52-meter traditional Phinisi liveaboard — the largest wooden dive boat in Indonesia — accommodating up to 20 guests across 11 cabins, including 2 single cabins for solo travelers. A dedicated dive-focused vessel offering up to 4 dives a day including night dives, the vessel runs 7 to 13-night itineraries across Raja Ampat, Komodo, Banda Sea, Forgotten Islands, Misool, Triton Bay, Alor, Cenderawasih, and Halmahera. Complimentary nitrox for certified divers. For the 2026/2027 season, rates start from USD $311 per person per day.

Amira is built locally by indigenous Indonesian craftsmen following traditional Phinisi construction methods, scaled up to become the largest wooden dive boat in the country at 52 meters long and 10 meters wide. The vessel is purpose-built around a structured diving program: a typical day includes four dives — three day dives and one night dive — except on embarkation, disembarkation, long crossing days, or when weather conditions don't permit. Four professional dive guides lead groups capped at a maximum of five divers each, and every diver carries an ENOS submersible GPS beacon — Amira was the first liveaboard in Indonesia to introduce this safety system, particularly valuable in the strong-current dive sites common across the itinerary range.

Eleven cabins accommodate up to 20 guests, including two dedicated single cabins — a rare feature among Indonesian liveaboards, most of which require solo travelers to share or pay a supplement. Five double/twin cabins of around 14 sqm and the two 11 sqm single cabins sit on the lower deck, each with three portholes and individual air conditioning. Four further double/twin cabins of 13 sqm are located on the upper deck with several windows. All cabins have en-suite bathrooms and a fan in addition to air conditioning. The 140 sqm sun deck offers loungers, beanbags, and shaded seating, while the main deck houses a covered outdoor lounge and restaurant, an indoor lounge with a fish identification library, and the dive briefing space.

The dedicated dive deck assigns each diver a personal station for the full safari, with tanks filled in place with air or complimentary nitrox. A 9-meter camera room with international power sockets, lighting, and fans gives underwater photographers a proper workspace to review and maintain equipment. All major technical systems — engines, generators, anchor winch, dinghies, compressors, and the water filtration system — are duplicated for operational redundancy. For the 2026/2027 season, itineraries span the full range of eastern Indonesian dive destinations, from Komodo and Raja Ampat to the more remote Forgotten Islands, Triton Bay, Cenderawasih Bay, and Halmahera.
