Highlights
The Jaya Phinisi Indonesia offers liveaboard dive trips to Raja Ampat from November to May and Komodo from late June to late September. Raja Ampat itineraries visit some of the best areas in the region, including Arborek Island, Penemu, Kawe, Gam, and Mioskon, with the chance of up to 4 dives per day. In the heart of the Coral Triangle, Raja Ampat should be at the top of any diver's bucket list. Komodo itineraries explore world-class dive sites, and an additional option for Rinca for trekking to see Komodo Dragons. Dive groups are kept small - max 4:1, to ensure everyone gets the best out of their Indonesia liveaboard. The dive deck has space for all divers, plus areas to store fins, masks, and wetsuits. There are also freshwater containers for cameras and torches, and the experienced crew is always on-hand with a smile to help out when needed.
The 23m Jaya caters to 14 guests in 7 cabins on the lower deck. There are 4 twin cabins with 2 shared bathrooms, 2 double ensuite cabins, and 1 double with a single ensuite, all with AC, charging sockets, fresh towels, and bedding. The twin cabins are mixed-gender shared (gender neutral). The upper deck has shaded space for relaxing in-between dives and enjoying the stunning Raja Ampat scenery, and the sun deck is equipped with bean bags.

Trip of a lifetime, cool group and cool dives
I had an amazing time on Jaya. The trip was very well organized, I enjoyed all the activities on and off board. The diving was spectacular and so were the land visits we did. We had a really fun group that paired also well with the guides. Rachel, Erika, Fandi and Ed our dive guides made sure we had great experiences under water and everyone sticked to the explained safety rules. I will definitely be back on Jaya!

Awesome experience all around!
Manta ridge(woke up early so we were first on the sometimes busy dive site. This insider info assured we has the best views for the mantas saw over 10 on that one dive). The land visit to pianemo had amazing views and two of the crew carry up as many beers as you want. All the food was delicious and varied even for being out as sea for so long. Room was comfortable especially after such long days filled with activities.

Fabulous staff, crew, dives, food!
This is a high quality, no frills budget liveaboard. Delicious, authentic Indonesian food! Excellent professional staff and crew. Wonderful attention to dive details. Except for the boat itself, which is clean and functional and which also utilizes solar panels, cabins are tiny and mattresses are not comfortable. Thank god for airconditioning in the cabins. Wonderful dive sites!

5 Star Experience
The staff was absolutely amazing!! So knowledgable and personable, they truly made this an all encompassing experience. The boat itself was awesome, big enough to be comfortable, small enough to keep the trip personal. The diving was phenomenal, great marine life, and beautiful dive sites. We will definitely be back on board the Jaya soon!

Fantastic all around 10 out of 10
A warm, well organized and professional team welcomes you on the Jaya. All you want in a liveaboard you can find with Jaya and their wonderful crew and staff. Special thanks goes to Ed, he is a fantastic dive master and cares about showing you all he can spot on the dive sites, that he knows in and out. The food was excellent 5- star level every single day. The dive sites and routes were well planned. Safety first all the time. Currents were checked before going in and detailed dive briefings I did appreciated a lot. Unforgettable moments when we all saw the bats fly at sunset. Rachel and Erica also helped us plan the perfect Komodo dragon tour, and we were picked up right at the Jaya, with all our big bags beeing transported to the Scuba Republic office in Labuan Bajo. Thanks for all the hard work and organisation in the background. You are the best. I highly recommend the Jaya to anyone looking for a professional liveaboard.

Fantastic trip diving Raja Ampat
Diving with black mantas. Mayhem, Melissa's Garden and Channel No 5 were my favourite dive sites. Never seen that many fish and a carpet of healthy corals. Best diving I have done in the past 20 years. The Jaya is a basic boat with no hot showers and shared bathrooms but if amazing diving is more important to you than luxury travel than I can highly recommend it. I would be happy to dive with the Jaya again. Fantastic diving, crew and passengers.

Bandasea Safari
We had a wonderful stay on board the Jaya (Ambon-Banda-Ambon). Enthusiastic dive guides (Rachel and Erica), dive breefings and dive sites. The days were well organised and everything was well explained. Small groups per guide. Good food (vegan and glutenfree was possible) and a very friendly and helpful crew. The general area of the boat is quite nice. If you have a lower deck cabin, the bathroom is shared. There are also cabins with private bathroom in the front. Would definitely book with Scuba Republic again. The rental equipment (only rented BCD + Reg) was in good shape.
