Indonesia: The Arenui
Dive Indonesia: Komodo, Alor, Raja Ampat, The Forgotten Islands, and Borneo
The Arenui luxury liveaboard is our #1 choice for an Indonesia dive vacation. She provides the best way for any scuba diver to experience Indonesia’s best offers. Indonesian diving is perfect for families. The stunning coral reefs, macro, big animal diving, and top-side adventure are the best in the world. The resorts and liveaboards we have chosen to travel with are experienced, safe, and friendly for families with older and younger divers. Our land-based resorts, Lembah and Banka, are more for older kids, Jr. advanced or adult divers. Buoyancy is vital in this area as fragile corals and muck diving require divers to have excellent buoyancy to protect marine environments from destructive diver fins. Indonesia is, without a doubt, for those ready to share a bigger adventure. You will experience genuinely healthy coral ecosystems and pristine reefs you have never seen before unless you have been to the Philippines. When purchasing any Arenui trip, we highly recommend purchasing Trip Insurance. (See Link)
