Vessel information

Are you up for a real ocean adventure? Gaya Baru Indah liveaboard is doing things differently, with an experience that feels more like a sleepaway camp for divers than a liveaboard. Choose from exciting seven to ten-day itineraries cruising in northern or southern Raja Ampat, or even combine the two. Of if you would like something a bit further afield, join a trip exploring the legendary Cenderawasih Bay or Banda Sea. No matter which voyage suits you best, you'll enjoy day after day of outstanding scuba diving, with small groups, excellent onboard facilities, and eagle-eyed local spotters.

If you enjoy meeting other divers, this is your boat. You won't find televisions, internet, or entertainment centres on this intimate sailing phinsi. Instead, between dives you'll stargaze, socialise, swap diving stories, and unplug from the ordinary world. Each day's activities are centred around exploration, with three to four dives per day in some of the planet's most biodiverse waters, plus snorkelling, shore excursions, and more! Gaya Baru Indah also offers opportunities to further your underwater education with nitrox courses and plenty of opportunities for one-on-one coaching.

Onboard the Gaya Baru Indah

This classically constructed vessel offers smooth sailing, cosy yet comfortable cabins, and relaxed social areas. Three delicious meals are served each day, blending classic Indonesian cuisine and global favourites, with something on the menu to suit every taste. You'll also have access to complimentary coffee, tea, and snacks at any time. Drinks from the bar are sold once the diving day has concluded and are best enjoyed on the sun deck, boasting stunning panoramic views and comfortable cushioned seating. And, with a nearly 1:1 crew to guest ratio, you're guaranteed to feel perfectly looked after at all times.

Diving from Gaya Baru Indah

Gaya Baru Indah liveaboard offers outstanding facilities for divers, with a spacious and well-organised area to kit up, two tenders, and free nitrox for certified divers. You'll also enjoy well maintained rental gear, separate rinse bins for cameras and electronics, and small diving groups split by experience and led by local experts. This vessel's interesting itineraries include fast-paced drift diving, exploring blue water and dizzying drop-offs, and a chance to take in some of the planet's most vibrant coral reefs. Depending on which adventure you choose, you can expect to encounter manta rays, whale sharks, and other exciting pelagics, as well as macro critters like pygmy seahorses, frogfish, and kaleidoscopic nudibranchs.
