S.M.Y Ondina

This traditional wooden schooner, called Phinisi in the local language, was built by the seafaring Bugis tribes of South Sulawesi in 2001. They used tropical woods and methods passed down from their ancestors to make it. She was custom-built by divers, for divers.

Pindito

The first operator to convert a traditional Pinisi boat into a diving liveaboard (“Pindito” is an acronym for “Pinisi Diving Tours”), Pindito has been plying the waters of Eastern Indonesia for over 30 years, exploring the reefs and islands of the entire archipelago.

Samambaia

Of more recent manufacture, Samambaia offers more upscale accommodation and outstanding service, all infused with the undeniable charm of her Italian owner, providing luxurious adventures, diving or otherwise, aboard a beautifully crafted liveaboard.
