Nusantara

Tucked into the dramatic seascapes of Komodo, Indonesia, Nusantara is a 21 metre PADI Dive Boat built for divers who want their underwater days wrapped in easygoing comfort. Excursions run from 2 to 4 nights, giving you plenty of time to settle into the rhythm of diving and surface intervals across this mesmerising region.

Life aboard and on deck

The diving deck at the stern is roomy, so gearing up and getting into the water is effortless. Between dives, the top deck delivers a shaded lounge and a sunbathing area dotted with comfortable beanbags — ideal for napping, reading, or sleeping out under a sky full of stars. Two bathrooms with regular toilets and hot, warm-water showers keep the saltwater at bay.

Meals are a buffet-style mix of local and western flavours served three times a day in the large saloon, with fresh vegetables, fruit, and snacks throughout. With English and Indonesian spoken and Fish ID and diving books on hand, Nusantara suits laid-back divers who value a relaxed, adventurous atmosphere.
