SMY Ondina is a classic phinisi vessel constructed using traditional methods. The purpose-built liveaboard was completely renovated in 2014, updating its already spacious interior and adding additional facilities for divers and underwater photographers. This boat provides professional diving services which are both affordable and flexible enough to cater to all levels of divers. SMY Ondina does away with expensive and irrelevant luxuries and focuses purely on the essentials - creating a comfortable, informal, and affordable liveaboard experience with scuba diving at its core.

This liveaboard is European-owned and boasts an accommodating attitude towards every guest, as well as international standards for safety and fun. SMY Ondina’s crew are experienced in working with divers of all skill and comfort levels. Dive groups are kept small and split by experience and air consumption, and each day’s flexible schedule lets you dive up to four times if you’re up to it. Additional amenities include a large sundeck with loungers, secluded excursions included in every trip, and superb facilities for personal gear and cameras.
