Enjoy an exhilarating adventure on board the luxurious Tambora, cruising throughout the Indonesian archipelago, unique in its diversity and home to the world’s best dive sites.

Designed and built from scratch, the eight spacious cabins are en-suite, sound proof and incredibly comfortable. The entire vessel has been engineered for a minimum of noise and vibration as well as catering specifically for divers. An experienced and professional crew see to every individual’s needs, offering an efficient and convenient service throughout your eleven night cruise. Up to four dives a day are offered, either from the platform or a dinghy. Nitrox is available.

The Tambora is very much a pioneer of diving itineraries throughout Indonesia and each year visits the old favourites as well as new locations, most not yet on the diver's map. Explore some of the world's best dive sites at the heart of the Coral Triangle where underwater highlights include an immense biodiversity from tiny critters to manta rays, sharks and whales.

The cruise schedule includes Raja Ampat, while also visiting lesser visited regions throughout the year including Kalimantan, Halmahera, Alor, the Banda Sea and the Togian Islands and exploratory trips to the Seram Sea. There are also dedicated sailings in Cenderawasih Bay focusing on the gentle giants, the whale shark.
