About Dancing Wind

Traditional lines meet serious diving credentials aboard the Dancing Wind, a 47-meter/154-foot Phinisi built in 2018 for exploring Indonesia's underwater riches. Hosting just 20 guests, this custom-built liveaboard threads through some of the archipelago's most celebrated waters — Raja Ampat, the Dampier Strait, and Halmahera — with sailings running Sorong to Sorong.

Life beneath the surface

Raja Ampat rewards divers with vibrant coral reefs and remarkable diversity. In these clear waters you may drift alongside colourful reef fish, majestic manta rays, and even the elusive whale shark, guided throughout by the boat's experienced crew.

Comfort keeps pace with the diving. Air-conditioned cabins with en-suite bathrooms, sea views and balconies sit alongside a shaded dive deck, Nitrox, a dedicated camera station with separate rinse for underwater gear, and two tenders for reaching the sites. Between dives, unwind on the sun deck, book a massage, or take out the kayaks and stand-up paddleboards — all backed by a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio and gourmet cuisine.
