The cruise director will conduct a boat briefing, covering essential safety procedures, onboard facilities, and introductions to the crew and fellow guests.
The afternoon is yours to unpack your dive gear, relax, and prepare for the incredible diving adventure ahead in Kalimantan’s breathtaking Maratua region. If all guests arrive on schedule, an optional check dive may be offered to help you get acclimated.
To kick off your journey, delicious snacks and dinner will be served on this first evening, ensuring a perfect start to your dive-filled getaway.
Core Days
One of the most thrilling dive spots in the region, Maratua’s walls deliver exhilarating big fish encounters. Expect massive schools of chevron barracuda, hunting trevallies, thresher sharks, and more.
A natural wonder, Kakaban Island features a breathtaking jellyfish lake and is surrounded by mangrove forests and steep drop-offs. Its walls attract huge schools of trevally and barracuda, along with occasional hammerheads, grey reef and blacktip reef sharks. But the real uniqueness lies in its famous stingless jellyfish - one of only 3 places on Earth where you can safely swim (and even gently touch) these mesmerising creatures without fear of stings!
Renowned for its reef manta ray gatherings, Sangalaki’s vibrant reefs serve as cleaning and breeding stations for these graceful giants. If conditions align, lucky divers may even encounter whale sharks gliding through the blue too.
Indonesia’s largest nesting site for endangered green and hawksbill turtles, Derawan offers unforgettable encounters - whether it's watching turtles laying their eggs on the beach, or swimming alongside them in the local waters. The biodiversity here is staggering: 460 coral species (second only to Raja Ampat) and 870+ fish species, from tiny pygmy seahorses to giant manta rays.
In recent years, divers have discovered a remarkable phenomenon off Kalimantan’s coast: whale sharks gathering near traditional fishing platforms (bagans). Locally called Labetti or Si Bintik ('the spotted one'), these gentle giants are seen as harbingers of good fortune by fishermen. The sharks feed on anchovies escaping the nets, offering divers a rare chance to observe them up close.
Note: On the final full day, only two dives will be conducted before the yacht begins its return journey to port.
Day 7
Final opportunity to enjoy croissants and hot drinks before you disembark in Tarakan and transfer to the airport or a local hotel.
