This was a full on trip with lots of great dives with an excellent staff, delicious food,and nice boat. I have done a liveaboard in Australia before so i have something to base this trip off. I was very impressed with everything overall! All the staff were excellent and very friendly and helpful. The food was incredible! The cabin was nice and comfortable. What added to this trip that stands out is I, unfortunately, got sick while on board. It was the start of a head cold..no fault of the trip itself. But it made it difficult to equalize and on a few dives to catch my breath. My dive guide Hans was excellent on being accommodating on the dives which turned my trip from potentially being a write off to one where I did all the dives but 2.”

Jelajahi Laut Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Jelajahi Laut Liveaboard review to help you confidently choose and book the right liveaboard. 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.

SDE Liveaboard Rating – Underwater Photographer Features for the Jelajahi Laut Liveaboard

My score of the Jelajahi Laut Liveaboard is 4/5 on the SDE Underwater Photographer Rating, as it has 4 of the 5 key photographer facilities (see below).

The Jelajahi Laut Liveaboard has a dedicated camera station close to the dive deck, which lets you gear up quickly, check your housing and swap batteries or memory cards between dives. In addition, it offers a separate rinse tank for underwater cameras, which is crucial for protecting expensive camera equipment from scratches and damage.

Also a dedicated camera tank avoids any risks that can arise from sharing space with general diving gear, such as regulators, wetsuits, and heavy fins to avoid contamitation from sand, salt, debris and any chemicals. What’s more, it provides dedicated charging stations for cameras, strobes, torches and laptops so your batteries are always topped up and ready for your next dive.

You’ll also find it offers WiFi internet onboard as a paid extra, so you can still back up key images and stay connected between dives if you need to.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

Come for the mantas, stay for the people. This was my first liveaboard and my first time diving in the region. Don't get me wrong—the tête-à-têtes with mantas, nighttime sleuthing for blue-ringed octopi and rainbow nudibranchs, and surging through currents with ALL the fish—was incredible. 10/10. But what I was truly blown away by was the people powering the Jelajahi Laut, especially the rare mix of top-quality organization, attentiveness, experience, warmth, energy, knowledge-sharing, humor, and family-style experience. I’ve been on numerous guided field trips and led a two-week field course. These guides are so damn good—they are a cut above the rest. Eric and Camille, the two lead guides, were so many things at the same time, some of them you'd think would be at odds. How can someone be entirely dependable yet relentlessly goofy? These two were responsible, communicative, organized, and able to offer critical advice to relative newbies while also engaging divers with hundreds of dives under their belts. When I had issues with my ear, Eric gave me specific pointers that enabled me to completely fix the problem and enjoy the rest of my dives. Camille also went out of her way to check on me and gave me some special medication that made things so much better. These guides consistently went above and beyond to make sure I was OK, and always engaged me and instructed me when I asked for it. Eric is an INCREDIBLE teacher, with funny and helpful analogies and so much positive reinforcing energy. I would do any liveaboard that Eric and Camille are leading, and I cannot imagine this operation with anyone else at the helm. They are an incredible team, and I’m grateful to have met and learned from them. Across the whole crew of 17, I felt safe from the moment I stepped onboard. Super clear briefings. Assistance with preparing and porting equipment and tanks. They really go out of their way to take care of you. And the food—super tasty and super diverse (which I hear is not always the case on dive boats). The guides were extremely responsible and pointed out some of the rare or hard-to-see species (shoutout Hanzo!). That kind of assuredness, through clear and thorough communication, laid the foundation for what ultimately became a super fun and silly group that bonded through group meals, karaoke nights, posing with Komodo dragons, fake drink sponsorship commercials, group birthday parties, and sunset hikes with beautiful views. The schedule was intense—18 dives over 6 days—but the tight ship also allowed for sufficient downtime, and we got into a rhythm. And of course, the places we were diving made it so worth it. Healthy reefs, incredible diversity of fish and invertebrates, and charismatic species from majestic mantas and reef sharks to pygmy seahorses and giant frogfishes. We had a healthy diversity of dives, including 3 night dives, a handful of drift dives, and ~3 manta-focused dives. Even though this place is becoming increasingly frequented by divers and there are more and more boats, I was still BLOWN AWAY by the sea life here. You’ll see plenty of boats during the trip, but apart from 1 or 2 of the dives, our group never ran into other groups underwater. If total remoteness is what you seek, this place is not for you. Also, if you’re into the 5-star luxury experience, other boats will be a better fit. But I was super comfortable—and honestly, I’d even prefer this to some white glove experience. Pretty soon into this trip, we felt like a family. It was a super homey boat with amazing food, excellent service, and a stellar vibe. If you are considering a liveaboard in Komodo—choose this one. You will not regret it. You’ll learn a lot, make new connections, and take in the wonders with amazing people.”

Recommended for: Eric and Camille. The staff, all the guests (even that tall, skinny guy Thomas), and the whole rapport of the trip. Nudibranches, sharks, mantas, octopuses, reef walls, drift dives, ALL THE AMAZING NATURE.
