Set sail on an Indonesian adventure aboard the Akomo Isseki liveaboard. A traditional hand-crafted wooden phinisi, she is crewed by the Bugis sailors of South Sulawesi and offers fantastic dive itineraries in Raja Ampat and Komodo National Park. Four naturally vented cabins with twin beds cater to 8 guests on board. Shared bathrooms feature modern facilities and traditional handicrafts. Social areas include the communal dining area and a large partially covered sun deck. Enjoy a selection of freshly cooked Indonesian and Western meals, beach BBQs, freshly baked bread, treats, and hot coffee. Days can be spent lounging on the sun deck in-between dives, kayaking, snorkeling, and island visits, and unwinding at the end of the day enjoying an incredible sunset, the sea breeze, and a cold beer with your fellow dive buddies.
The Akomo Isseki phinisi visits dive destinations, including Raja Ampat, Komodo National Park, and the Banda - Ambon crossing. In Komodo, dive at Karang Makassar and get up close with schools of Manta Rays, enjoy a dusk dive at Palau Siaba to watch the beautiful Mandarin fish perform their mating dance ritual, and walk with Dragons on Komodo island. Raja Ampat itineraries are offered from November - April and are a divers' paradise. Home to some of the most bio-diverse diving in the world, marine life encounters can include wobbegong sharks, pygmy seahorses, nudibranch galore, dugong, manta rays, and humpback whales. For the more adventurous, the Spice Island Trail from Ambon to Waisai (or reverse) is not to be missed. This is the chance to dive off the beaten track and explore untouched beauty with the chance to dive with schooling hammerheads.
Whichever itinerary you choose, the passionate dive guides and attentive boat crew will surely deliver an exceptional trip to remember. Book online today.

Marine Life Expedition of Eight Young Backpackers
There were 8 guests on board, and except for 2 people, everyone came individually. Since we were all around a similar age, it created a really great atmosphere. Everything was enjoyable, and the trip turned out to be more comfortable than I had expected. Even though 8 of us had to share just 2 bathrooms, it worked out quite smoothly and comfortably. All the meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—were truly delicious, and even the snacks were great, which made the whole trip very satisfying.

- I really enjoyed seeing such a wide variety of marine life.. I felt safe because we had an experienced dive guide with over 20 years of expertise.. The boat was new and modern, so everything felt clean and comfortable..

Our diving trip to Raja Ampat aboard the Akomo Isseki was absolutely amazing. Everything about the experience exceeded our expectations. We especially want to highlight the incredible expertise of our dive guide, Alex, who made every dive unforgettable. The crew also deserves a huge round of applause for their excellent work and warm hospitality. Their kindness and attention to detail made our journey truly special. Highly recommended!

It was my first liveaboard and I was skeptical at first, especially because of the good price offer, but the boat has a very efficient team,the cook chef did every goog menu, all dives were spectacula
What's great is that we always see a different landscape every day with different dive sites that the guides know like the back of their hand. Being grateful and living in the moment is the best thing that can happen.

Beauty of the reefs and schools of fish
A very beautiful destination that guarantees beautiful dives in the middle of splendid coral reefs. Few large pelagics, except for sublime manta rays, gigantic schools of fish and macro.
