Vessel information

This boat visits some of Indonesia's most exciting dive destinations, including Raja Ampat, Komodo, and the Banda Sea. Despite its size, this boat feels plenty spacious, with individual equipment areas, a charging table, and a breezy outdoor saloon for relaxing at the end of a long day in the water.

Handcrafted from tropical hardwood and designed specifically for Indonesian liveaboard diving, Liquid Adventure's two traditional phinisi style vessels combine classical appeal with 21st-century technology. Accommodating eight passengers each, these liveaboards are perfect for families, a close circle of friends, or individual travellers exploring the Indonesian Archipelago. Both boats were built to be environmentally conscious and highly economical, running all electrical systems from solar panels to reduce emissions and operational noise.
Onboard Akomo Isseki
The Akomo Isseki liveaboard holds just eight passengers, so it's perfect for families or small circles of friends exploring the Indonesian Archipelago. In fact, this is one of the region's most intimate boats! Guest cabins feature solid teak wood, natural ventilation, and plenty of storage, and are serviced by two shared bathroom facilities with modern appliances and flush toilets. A communal dining area, shaded dive deck and breezy outdoor saloon provide plenty of space for guests to socialise, swap stories, and compare the day's best photos. Meals include a mix of Indonesian and Western dishes including freshly baked bread, hot coffee, and plenty of post-dive snacks.
Diving from Akomo Isseki
This traditional phinisi style vessel offers classical aesthetics like tropical hardwood combined with modern comfort for divers. The Akomo Isseki is powered by the sun's rays, running all electrical systems from solar panels to reduce emissions and operational noise, making it one of the most environmentally friendly liveaboards in Indonesia. A charging station for electrical items is operated for several hours daily so guests can keep their batteries topped up for generous periods. In between dives, guests are free to use onboard snorkelling equipment and kayaks.
Top tips
- If you're the kind of diver who loves their electronics, bring along a spare battery bank or solar charger. This boat's environmentally-friendly policies won't allow you to charge your toys around the clock.
- Don't forget to pack a few books and board games for entertainment. Or, plan to spend your evenings stargazing and socialising with the other guests.
- If you're hoping to see large pelagics like manta rays and sharks, plan your trip during a full moon. This part of the month promises stronger currents, increasing your chances for an encounter.
- Most of this boat's itineraries feature at least one land-based excursion. Be sure to pack walking shoes, comfortable clothes, and plenty of sun protection!
