PLEASE CONTACT US FOR ALTERNATIVES

MV Paisubatu is an Indonesia liveaboard that operates mostly in the regions of Raja Ampat and North Sulawesi. Built in 2006 and managed by an operation with many years of experience in Indonesia, Paisubatu is a liveaboard where you can be sure you are in good hands and will be taken to the best dive sites around.

Sleeping a maximum of 10 guests on this 26m mono-hulled motor yacht, there is always plenty of space especially with the large dive boat tender which accompanies the MV Paisubatu. Similar to the dhonis used in Maldives, Paisubatu employs a 15m tender where all scuba equipment is stored and where the compressors operate. This helps to keep the main boat quiet, clean and uncluttered.

Another great feature of this liveaboard is the electrical design which allows generators to be shut down overnight so you can sleep soundly in peace and quiet.

You can spend your down-time in the open air saloon and dining area on the upper deck which is the main socialising space. The holiday experience of the MV Paisubatu is a more natural open-air one than some other liveaboards, so don't expect an air-conditioned lounge or entertainment equipment. On this Indonesian liveaboard, you can look forward to a peaceful, nature-lovers trip where the spectacular and ever-changing scenery is the backdrop and great diving is the daily pastime.

Customer reviews:

"Staff were friendly, competent. Boat was very basic but clean. The other guests and the instructor were French. Being on a boat for this length of time did make us feel quite isolated at times." - Meredith Slevin, Australia, 22 September 2013 ...

"The liveaboard boat itself was simple but clean, good to have your own bathroom and toilet. Also good that there was a smaller separate boat where the dive equipment was stored and prepared, so the noisy filling of the bottles never disturbed.
Maybe the boat is a little too small for all the people as there is not really a lot of space to relax and sun besides the room." - Sien Van Liefferinge, Belgium, 2 August 2013 ...
