The KLM Jaya offers budget-conscious divers liveaboard tours in Indonesia's famed Coral Triangle. The Jaya’s experienced captain has faithfully steered the 6 sail phinisi schooner for over 14 years around the waters of Komodo and Raja Ampat.

14 guests are accommodated in twin bed cabins with shared bathrooms, and double bed en-suite cabins. Your lower deck cabin will be well ventilated from the portholes and ceiling window. Individually controlled air conditioners and fans are available for your added comfort. A touch of luxury comes in the form of fresh, organic towels and linen.

The Jaya has benefitted from the experience of the same captain who will navigate you to the best sites with the most favourable conditions during your Indonesia diving tour. Your dive equipment is stored on the main deck, where there is dedicated space for your personal smaller items. Fresh water tanks are conveniently situated for you to rinse your all important camera gear.

The large shaded dining area is the place to meet fellow divers during meal times or between dives. Here is where you can swap diving stories, complete your log book, or gather for dive briefings. The sun deck is the perfect spot to relax on the large bean bags or sun mats.

If a no frills Indonesian liveaboard vacation where you can tour and dive some of the world’s best spots with an experienced team, is what you’re looking for, then this could be the option for you.
