Jelajahi Laut means “Explore the Sea,” which she delivers with expeditions to Komodo, Raja Ampat, Banda Islands, Alor, and Ambon, to name a few. This traditional phinisi was designed by divers, optimizing the comforts for diver guests with a spacious equipment area and camera station, where you can gear up and prepare for your underwater adventure.

Beautiful diving on a lovely boat!
Terrific boat and crew. Great safety practices and a wonderful onboard culture. This is a great mid-level experience....very comfortable....not the highest end luxury, but good value and good diving. I was both energized by amazing diving and relaxed by a very solid on-board experience. I would definitely dive with Makumba again....looking forward to their new boat in early 2027!

Amazing experience
Dives sites were great, dive guides and instructors were amazing and very friendly, thank you @Salla, Abda and Hans! Very friendly environment for snorkels too! Excursions were perfect and we got to see some incredible places and views. Food was always very tasty and different, I wonder how the chef managed to cook so well in a tiny kitchen and limited ingredients. The rest of the crew was so nice too, all very friendly, always ready to help and to have a chat with. We even got the opportunity to watch them sing and playing instruments. So in the end the trip was great if not perfect. Nothing to complain about but on the contrary it felt like every little detail was carefully thought to give to all the guests the best experience possible. Every day is packed with lots of activities for a quite schedule but there’s always a bit of time to chill and just enjoy the sceneries passing by. Highly recommended trip! Thanks Mikumba Diving team!

Fantastic in all respects - the boat and team lived up to the epic reputation of Raja Ampat
Truly great experience - team does a great job of designing an itinerary that delivers fantastic diving experience - usually without having to share dive sites with other boats/divers. Dive guides are professional, competent, knowledgeable and extremely helpful at providing tips to improve your diving and make sure you get the most out of every dive

A Huge Thank You to the Jelajahi Laut Crew We just returned from an unforgettable 6-day liveaboard in Komodo National Park aboard the Jelajahi Laut, and we cannot thank the crew enough for making this experience truly special. From the moment we stepped on board, we felt welcomed, cared for, and treated like family. Every single person on the team went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable, safe, and filled with joy. • Cam & Eric (Cruise Directors): Thank you both for the personal care and attention you gave us throughout the trip — it truly made us feel at home. A very special thanks to Cam for being our dive guide: your professionalism, calmness underwater, and eye for detail gave us unforgettable dives. You always made us feel safe, confident, and inspired to enjoy every moment. • Chef Burhan & Chef Helper Kipli: A very special thanks to you, Chef Burhan, for going the extra mile to prepare dishes we love — every meal was not only delicious and creative but also made with such thoughtfulness. Dining on board was an absolute highlight thanks to you both. • Ramli & Jon (Speedboat Drivers): Always ready to take us safely and smoothly to our dives and excursions — we truly appreciated your care and skill. • David & Elin (Housekeeping): Thank you for keeping everything spotless and comfortable, and for your constant thoughtfulness in the little details. • Hans & Abda (Dive Guides): You made every dive safe, fun, and memorable. Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge of the ocean with us. • Captain Arisman: We always felt safe under your command — thank you for guiding us through the beautiful waters of Komodo. • Chief Officer Basir: Your professionalism and calm presence gave us confidence throughout the journey. • Engineer Saldi, 2nd Engineer Jamal & Engineer Helper Jery: Thank you for keeping the ship running perfectly and always with a smile. This was much more than just a trip — it was a heartfelt experience shaped by an incredible crew who put so much love and dedication into everything they do. We will cherish these memories forever and highly recommend the Jelajahi Laut to anyone looking for the trip of a lifetime in Komodo. With gratitude, Keren & Alon
