Underwater Raja Ampat

Diving Raja Ampat by Yacht

Luxurious travel paired with access to some of the world’s most breathtaking dive sites — from the manta cleaning stations to current-swept pinnacles, all from the comfort of a phinisi liveaboard.

The Coral Triangle

A Diver’s Paradise, Anchorage to Anchorage

Diving Raja Ampat from a yacht offers an unforgettable experience that combines luxury with crystal-clear waters and the richest marine life on Earth. A liveaboard lets you reach famous sites across the archipelago in a single voyage — and dive them at the quietest, clearest moments of the day.

Liveaboard trips in 2026 typically range from $1,200 to $3,500 for a week, depending on the level of luxury and amenities on board.

Dive Site Difficulty & Daily Rhythm

Sites like Mioskon and the shallow sections of Aljui Bay — minimal currents, depths of 5–10 metres.

02

Intermediate

Cape Kri and Chicken Reef — varying currents and depths of 10–30 metres for some experience.

03

Advanced

Drift dives at Castle Rock and Blue Magic — strong currents and depths exceeding 30 metres.

On a liveaboard you can expect 3 to 5 dives per day — usually a two-dive morning, a mid-afternoon dive, and an optional night dive. Night dives, around the reefs of Kri Island, reveal a whole new world of nocturnal marine life and bioluminescence.
