MV Empress II is a unique budget liveaboard option in Indonesia. This is a rough and ready option, built for exploration, wreck and technical diving, offering great dives in Raja Ampat and the Komodo National Park.

There are many unusual features on MV Empress II including an electric dive lift, rebreather compatibility, long hoses and a defibrillator.
