Emperor Harmoni Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Emperor Harmoni Liveaboard review to help you choose the right liveaboard with confidence. As a qualified diving instructor and Advanced BSAC Diver with 500+ dives worldwide, I've helped countless divers pick their perfect liveaboard - whether it's your first time liveaboard or you're an experienced diver seeking your next adventure.

Read more about Russell's diving experience

My diving experience spans cold-water UK drysuit dives, warm coral reefs in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and South Africa. As a former BSAC Diving Officer and diving instructor, I've taught many people to dive and taken a lot of the divers I taught on their first dive. I also used to organise and run dive trips in the UK, with one of my favourites being expeditions to the Farne Islands to dive with the seals. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between. This hands-on experience means I know exactly what makes a great liveaboard experience, having dived from liveaboards myself and loved it. This is why I came up with the SDE Liveaboard Rating* to help you choose the best liveaboard for you.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

An amazing experience in Raja Ampat with a crew and boat that made it all worth it! We had an amazing trip on Emperor Harmoni! The diving in Raja Ampat is amazing and the dive guides were excellent in finding all the amazing marine life living there, such as Wobbegongs and Pygmy seahorses! The boat is well-kept, with spacious rooms and deck areas. The food was top-notch and the cherry on top was definitely the drinks waiting for us after the second dive, so refreshing! For people that love night dives, the only thing to note: We did 2 morning dives and 1 afternoon dive, and only once an additional night dive.”
