Description

Boat

Dancing Wind is once known as the Tambora liveaboard. It is built in 2018 with Iron wood, measuring 45 meters long and 9.5 meters wide. It is a Phinisi-style liveaboard that offers great comfort and flair, and at the same time is optimally geared towards supporting a diving operation in terms of safety, convenience, and efficiency. It cruises at 8 knots per hour.

Dancing Wind has been entirely constructed out of Sulawesi iron wood and chosen Javanese teak. While her hull has been painted white, the superstructure, decks and roofs have all been finished with a view towards preserving the natural beauty of the teak wood. All decks and the salon rooftop feature teak parquet flooring. This way, the rustic charm and warmth of a traditional wooden vessel could be preserved.

There is a large salon with separate dining and relaxing sections on the upper deck, with large flat screen TV/DVD with home cinema, offering enough space during mealtimes, as well as for chilling out over a chat and drinks with fellow divers, with a book in your hands, or working on your laptop.

Outside the salon, there is a large outdoor lounge area with lounge beds for relaxation. There are 3 separate lounge decks on board - provide enough space and privacy, and can be fully shielded from the sun.

Dancing Wind serves five freshly prepared meals per day, with cuisine being the perfect blend of Indonesian, European, and Japanese specialties, and soft drinks, water, tea, coffee, and beer are all included in the cruise price (beer included only for non discounted trips). Liquor and a wide selection of wine are available for an additional cost.
