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.
