10 nights Liveaboard.
We are staying on the Indo Master Liveaboard.
Built in 2022, the 47m the Boat was built on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi and is handcrafted from ironwood and teak (traditional to the area). You will find no other diving liveaboard as beautiful in Indonesian waters and, being built by divers for divers, you can be rest assured that every need has been thought of and addressed.
Welcoming a maximum of 18 guests per cruise ensures that there is ample space to relax. The 9 guest cabins consist of 4 fixed doubles, 4 fixed twins and 1 family suite (2 double beds), all with air-conditioning and private ensuite bathrooms with hot water.
The spacious air-conditioned saloon offers a great setting for your meals and dive briefings, a cocktail bar, comfortable seating, a charging station and a large flat-screen TV.
The dive deck has personal storage space for masks and other small equipment items and is likely to be one of the most spacious and comfortable you will have come across. Designated areas for charging and preparing camera and video equipment, as well as separate rinse tanks, make Indo Master a top choice for underwater photographers and videographers.
The vessel also benefits from 2 high-powered Zodiacs, kayaks, laundry and massage services.
Dive sites include Castle Rock, Crystal Rock, Shotgun, Sangeang Island Hot Rocks! The Circus, Wainilu, Rinca Island, K2,Secret Garden Padar Bay Tiga Dara / Three Sisters, Techno Reef, Tattawa Besar Swiss Dream to name but a few.

The area boasts some of the healthiest most stunning coral gardens, currents can sometimes be very strong making for an exhilarating, relatively shallow drift dive.
Divers joining a Komodo National Park itinerary on Indo Master are required to have PADI Advanced Open Water, or equivalent certification, and a minimum of 50 logged dives.
It is also strongly recommended that divers have previous experience and are comfortable diving in strong currents.
Guests who do not fulfil the minimum certification and experience requirements, or who our crew feel have insufficient skills for certain conditions may be denied participation in some or all dives.
