Few liveaboards in West Papua compare to diving in these waters aboard the Pindito, pioneer of dive tours in Raja Ampat and once voted Tauchen Magazine Best Liveaboard of the Year. This boat is well known throughout Indonesia and the owner / operator Edi Frommenweiler has been diving these waters longer than almost anyone. He loves to share his years of experience with his guests, many of whom often return to Pindito time and again.
A very experienced boat crew that know the Raja Ampat liveaboard diving region better than anyone else. This elegant wooden yacht has en-suite private cabins and crew who are very attentive and friendly, and will share a beer with you (all beers and spirits are free of charge on Pindito safaris), combine to provide a unique adventure. The boat is stable and quiet under motor, and this combination will soon have you unwinding and feel right at home.
For those who want to maximise their time marveling at these amazing dive sites that the Pindito visits, complimentary nitrox is indeed an excellent perk on these Raja Ampat dive tours. The boat is also rebreather (CCR) friendly. For photographers, the inhouse camera room will come in very handy too.
