Amazing time with the Gaya Baru crew. I had a great time. We were only 7 divers sharing every meal, dives, and time off so we created a very nice atmosphere. The crew was very helpful and friendly, the food was great, and some of the dive sites were mind blowing. Everything was very well organised by Ralf.”

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

Unforgettable Liveaboard Experience in Raja Ampat. My time on Gaya Baru Indah was simply incredible. The diving was, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever experienced—stunning dive sites, well-planned dives, and small groups led by truly experienced dive masters. Each dive was long, immersive, and absolutely breathtaking. The food on board was another highlight—delicious, authentic Indonesian cuisine that I looked forward to at every meal. The crew was amazing, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made the trip even more special. While the cabins and facilities are quite basic, the true luxury of this liveaboard is the exceptional diving and fantastic food. The boat itself is a beautiful, traditional Indonesian vessel that adds to the charm of the experience. A huge thank you to Ralf and his entire crew for making this an unforgettable adventure. As a solo traveler, I felt completely comfortable and well taken care of. If you're looking for an authentic and extraordinary diving trip in Raja Ampat, this is the perfect choice!”

All Indonesia's Discounted Liveaboard Deals & Last Minute Discounts

All liveaboard reviews on this site are written based on my real diving experience, from hundreds of dives across reefs, wreck dives, shark dives, deep dives, night dives and drysuit diving.

I’ve cold water dived in the UK, warm water dived from many of the Caribbean islands, dived both the east and west coasts of Australia, the Red Sea, South Africa and dived the east and west coasts of the USA, and I’ve also spent time and enjoyed diving from liveaboards myself too.

My aim; to always give you clear, honest, practical advice, so you can book the right dive boat and enjoy the best possible liveaboard diving holiday, be that on the Gaya Baru Indah or any other liveaboard I've reviewed on Scuba Diving Earth.
