Pindito

Cruise the M.V. Pindito and enjoy Indonesia?s breathtaking underwater scenery from a traditionally constructed vessel. Cruising the Komodo National Park and Irian Jaya (Raja Empat) you will visit virgin dive sites of unparalleled excellence and the beautiful, and remote, West Irian Jaya or Nusa Tenggara Isles.

With over fifteen years experience in these waters, and maintained to the highest standards of safety and reliability, Pindito offers an unforgettable combination of traditional Indonesian ambience and comfort. Spacious cabins boast individual air-conditioning, several 220 volt charging facilities, separate toilet, shower and washbasins. There is an air-conditioned lounge in which to relax, and, for photo/video-graphers, an onboard computer. (Please bring along your own blank CD/DVDs!) A light breakfast is served before the first dive, with a breakfast buffet available afterwards. Lunch and dinner are a highlight - cuisine is international with Indonesian, and Asian, influences - and biscuits and cakes, tea, coffee and soft drinks are available throughout the day. After the last dive complimentary alcoholic drinks are served (Wine, is at an additional cost).

All dives are guided to ensure safety and comfort, and planned to meet everyone's expectations and diving skills. Over the last twelve years Pindito has enjoyed a reassuring 100% safety report and offers an impressive range of equipment, including two Bauer compressors (Mariner); a Nitrox-Membran-Filling station (Nitrox is free!); three Zodiacs and 40 ten litre tanks, with DIN/INT monoplugs. Four dives a day are usual, subject to conditions, the final dive of the day being a lovely and exciting night dive. The crew are on hand to carry gear to the Zodiacs, which accompany you throughout the dive. Should you desire a break from diving(!) the Pindito can arrange fascinating land excursions.

Note: for safety reasons there are no dives scheduled on arrival or departure days.
