Diving Indonesia’s Coral Triangle requires a vessel with both power and reliability, and the 33-metre Mermaid II liveaboard is precisely that. This potent steel-hulled motor vessel is engineered for speed and stability, enabling quick transit to and from the remote dive sites of Komodo National Park and beyond. Assurance is built in: an additional generator and fuel tanks ensure that the MV Mermaid II can maintain its intensive cruising schedule without technical interruption, providing confidence throughout your expedition.
With the capacity to accommodate up to 18 divers, the Mermaid II remains exceptionally spacious. Crucially, most cabins are en-suite and situated on the main and upper decks, a standout feature that allows guests to wake up to the beautiful island views directly through large cabin windows. This design choice elevates the experience beyond the standard lower-deck liveaboard setup.
The vessel is excellently equipped to maximise your underwater time. Divers benefit from the option of enriched air nitrox, a valuable asset when undertaking multiple daily descents. For those not yet qualified, the PADI Nitrox specialty course, alongside other PADI specialty courses like Underwater Photographer, can be completed while on board the Mermaid II liveaboard.
The dedicated dive deck and platform are spacious, offering ample storage and featuring separate rinse tanks for dive gear and sensitive camera equipment. Diving with Mermaid II is executed with great efficiency using 2 fast and highly convenient dinghies, which make accessing sites in Komodo and Raja Ampat simple. Post-dive, a computer is available for digital photo downloads, allowing guests to review their daily captures and burn them onto CD.
Life above deck centres around 2 separate saloons, providing variety in relaxation spaces. The main deck saloon serves delicious food, with plenty of snacks, including cookies, cereals, and yoghurt, available between meals. The upper deck saloon acts as the main entertainment centre, featuring a TV, iPad player, music system, and a multi-lingual library. Positioned high up on the Mermaid II liveaboard, this area benefits from the cooling sea breezes, making it a natural gathering spot in the evenings.
The extensive sun areas further distinguish the Mermaid II. A large open area furnished with sun loungers is located in front of the wheelhouse, perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun during transit. In addition to its primary focus on Komodo, the Mermaid II also offers special trips to Alor and Flores during the main season, and operates in Raja Ampat throughout March and April, guaranteeing access to Indonesia’s most celebrated marine environments.
