  Join us in Bali for a bucket list trip to see the famous Komodo Dragons, with world class diving along the way. The Starting point for this expedition is the enchanting island of Bali, easy to get to with one stop in Taipei, Singapore, Japan and other hubs.

  We will board the liveaboard on the afternoon of July 12 after an optional Bali pre-trip tour. Details will be available later. From Bali we'll cruise past the volcanoes of Lombok and dive some of our favorite sites on the north of Sumbawa, such as Hot Rocks, en route to Komodo National Park to dive some of the most biologically diverse waters on the planet. Everything from mantas to macro life, such as nudibranchs and pygmy seahorses, can be found here. On the islands inside the park, you can walk amongst the famous dragons in the wild (protected by a guide with a forked stick!), as well as view and learn about them at the park visitor center. Best for intermediate to advanced divers, Komodo National Park is known for incredible marine life diversity, colorful corals, abundant reef fish, mantas, and of course the famous Komodo Dragons on land. Some of the most remarkable sea life is found at famous dive sites such as Cannibal Rock in the south of the park, where upwellings result in surprisingly cool water (72-75F), so pack a core warmer and hood. You should also be prepared for currents. Mermaid I has capacity for only 15 divers, so sign up early. We always sell out Mermaid I pretty quickly.

  • Lower deck stateroom: $3400 sold out!
  • Deluxe stateroom: $3900

  A South Pacific dream vacation is easier than you think! Fiji is an easy overnight flight in a comfortable wide-body jet from SFO, LAX or DFW. This package, including meals and diving, is the perfect chance to experience the exotic South Pacific of your dreams and dive the brilliantly colorful "Soft Coral Capital of the World."

  You'll stay in air-conditioned ocean view rooms at Volivoli Resort on the sunny coast of the main island of Viti Levu (www.Volivoli.com) and dive with Ra Divers. Deluxe Ocean View rooms have two queen beds, perfect for dive buddies. Premium Ocean View bures are standalone bungalows with one queen bed, great for couples. Ask about upgrading to a luxury ocean villa, complete with it’s own private pool!

  We'll make sure everyone is comfortable and warmly welcomed here in the beautiful South Pacific. With a choice of uncrowded dive sites, Fiji is a great destination for both relatively new as well as experienced divers. You'll explore both easy diving at near-shore sites, as well as the Vatu-i-Ra passage of the Bligh Waters, where you can expect currents that make the soft coral "bloom." Our package includes 7 nights double occupancy, 3 meals daily, 5 days of 2 tank morning dives, 2 afternoon dives, unlimited house reef shore dives, a welcome cocktail party, a traditional Fijian dance performance, and more. For single we’ll try to pair you with a buddy, or you can ask about a single supplement. For the non diving spouses there’s more than just a pool and beach. Kayaks and other resort activities are also available.
