Highlights
The Epica liveaboard offers a budget-friendly way to explore Raja Ampat. She is simple but comfortable, catering to 12 guests in 6 basic twin cabins. Cabins are above deck to catch the ocean breeze and share 2 bathrooms with fresh-water showers. Meals are freshly prepared, offer a mix of local and international cuisine, and are served 'family-style' on the upper deck. The large upper deck is also kitted out with hammocks and bean bags, making it a great place to relax between dives and enjoy the incredible sunset at the end of the day.
Groups are kept to a maximum of 4 divers per guide and split according to experience levels so everyone can make the most of their diving. Enjoy the rich, diverse underwater world with a chance to see amazing marine life, from cool critters to large pelagic life such as manta rays and various species of sharks. You will also have the chance to visit one of the famous panoramic viewpoints in Raja Ampat. The trips on Epica are designed to make the most out of your experience in Raja Ampat when traveling on a budget.

Amazing Diving Week on EPICA – Highly Recommended!
I had an amazing week diving on the EPICA liveaboard, and I highly recommend it! The crew and Brad, the captain, were fantastic, super professional and friendly, creating such a great atmosphere on board. I also completed my Advanced Open Water certification during the trip, which was a great way to learn and improve step by step throughout the week. The food was Incredible! Tata is an amazing chef, every meal was delicious. Great dives, an awesome team, and an unforgettable experience. Don’t hesitate to book!

Amazing trip
Wonderful experience onboard Epica. Raja Ampat diving is really something else and the crew and dive guides made the trip great. The boat is really basic you get what you pay for. I definitely recommend Epica for divers looking for an affordable way to dive in Raja Ampat.

Best liveaboard we ever had.
When we came on the I thought that we booked wrong trip since the boat didn’t look nice at all. But after few hours we got used to it and we had the best liveaboard we ever had. Honestly the rooms are not comfortable, but everything else is perfect. Its perfect for young people, solo travelers, you wont get rich old people on that boat. They costumize the trip regarding your wishes, avoid going on crowded places, food is amazing, crew is amazing, guides are amazing. If i come back to raja ampat i will definitely choose Epica again. No need for luxury if you’re having time of your life ;))) Thank you Epica, thank you Brad for making this trip awsome!!! 🤗

Fantastic trip!
Diving with epica was perfect. The food was great, the Indonesian crew was fantastic, and the diving was amazing. The room was definitely no frills (two bunk beds with AC), but i only went there to sleep at night. Spent most time in the water or up top relaxing. I might suggest putting guests on the other side of the boat, as the generator operating the ac is quite loud for guests at night. The 7 days trip was perfect for me, though i can see more hardcore divers adding a few days to get a little further north. Everything we did could have been done by day trips from the Wassai area, which was fine with me as this was my first time in Raja.

Great!
Two Americans on epica for the week, 19 dives, great food but lots of fried food. Always rice, veggies and protein, we are vegan and always had tofu or tempeh. Easy accommodations with AC! 12 people on board plus staff, two bathrooms. Great staff, always excited to see you! Diving with groups of 3-4. Great experience! Top dives in raja Ampat!

Incredible trip!
We saw so many incredible things like Pygmy seahorses, tons of reef mantas swimming above us, 2 oceanic rays (this was rare!), octopuses, sharks like black and white tip reefs and wobbegongs. Our dive master Rolly was awesome, the food was good, things happened on schedule (I love the punctuality!) and the weather was superb. I’ll remember this forever
