Nusantara | Komodo

Boat

Nusantara is a wooden liveaboard built in 2017. Measuring 21m long and 3m wide, which means there’s loads of space to chill on the boat in between dives.

At the front of the main deck we have our large dining area and up on top we have a huge sun deck and a shaded area perfect for a nap or reading a book on one of our comfy beanbags. There is a small library with Fish ID books. And 220 volt sockets in all areas.

Meals are both local and international cuisine, cooked by our onboard chef. All meals are included in the trip price, however, please let us know of any specific dietary requirements.

Nusantara has a spacious diving deck at the back of the boat, we’re able to gear up and jump straight off the platform. After the dives there are 2 bathrooms with western style toilets and hot showers to rinse off the salt.

After diving you can relax while the dive guides and boat crew sing and play the guitar, we also sell ice cold beer and soft drinks so you can watch the sunset in style as we cruise through the park.
