Temukira is a 33.5m traditional wooden schooner that specialises in liveaboard diving in Komodo all year round. It is owned by a highly experienced local dive operator and operates 7-night cruises from Labuan Bajo. The affordable prices might make it a great option to experience this wonderful region.
Up to just 12 guests are accommodated on board Temukira in 6 en-suite cabins. The low number of guests is great for a more personalised service and to avoid congested dive sites underwater. The liveaboard features an air-conditioned saloon/dining area with entertainment facilities such as a TV and DVD player, a small library, satelite telephone, a sea kayak, and a sun deck with awning, sun chairs, bean bags and mats for those who prefer to relax outdoors.
Diving is conducted in small groups of 4 divers per guide and from 2 motorised tenders with 40 HP engines. The dive deck features diver gear and camera work stations, and an outdoor shower. Each trip includes land visits to encounter Komodo dragons and hiking opportunities to viewpoints; it can be combined with a land-based Komodo dive package at the operator's accommodations in Labuan Bajo.
Temukira has 6 cabins with en-suite private bathrooms. There are 5 cabins on the lower deck, 1 with twin beds, and 3 with a double bed, and 1 with a single and double bed. On the upper deck there is 1 twin bed cabin.
