Welcome to Mermaid Liveaboards

Asia's Premier Liveaboard Fleet for Raja Ampat & Komodo Scuba Diving

Mermaid Liveaboards has been exploring the spectacular waters of Indonesia since 2000. It is no secret that Indonesia is home to some of the best diving in the world. Our Award-winning liveaboards operate in Komodo, Raja Ampat, Alor, Ambon, Banda Sea, Forgotten Islands, Halmahera, Lembeh and Togean Islands.

We have two vessels for you to choose from: Mermaid I and Mermaid II. Both liveaboards explore Komodo, Raja Ampat, and far-flung remote areas with outstanding standards and knowledge of all the destinations in Indonesia.

Our professional crew, trained to the highest international standards of service and safety, has contributed to our numerous accolades. With a high level of maintenance from an experienced management team, Mermaid I and Mermaid II have consistently been voted among the World’s Top Ten Best Scuba Diving Liveaboards. In 2024, Mermaid Liveaboards won a total of nine Readers Choice awards, including first place in Quality of Staff, Level of Safety and Best Overall Liveaboard in the Pacific region.

We offer exceptional value in terms of price and comfort compared to other boats operating in the region. In return, we have accomplished our greatest achievement: a very high level of repeat customers who entrust us with their diving and snorkelling trips every time they visit Indonesia.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries or questions about planning your diving holiday in Indonesia. Whichever trip you choose, be prepared to have the best diving experience and the trip of a lifetime in Indonesia.
