The keel for the Tiaré liveaboard was laid in 2013 and the ship was launched in 2016. The ship is a luxurious, traditional Indonesian Phinisi that will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in Indonesia, and in the world. The ship features indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins constructed from antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, giving the feel of “real Indonesia”, and helped reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. The ship offers 4 king bed cabins, 2 twin bed cabins, and 2 cabins for families with a third bed. The ship features a separate dive deck with hot water showers where divers can warm up after a night dive. For photographers, the Tiré offers an ample camera area with charging stations.
Depending upon your selected itinerary, the Tiaré docks at different ports. Departing Alor, guests fly to Bali and from Bali to Kupang. Flight schedules may require an overnight in Kupang before arrive in Alor. Departing Labuan Bajo, take international flights to Jakarta or Bali and then take a domestic flight to Bajo. Departing Maumere, guests take a domestic flight from Bali. The flight is about 1.5 hours. Departing SORONG, fly international to Jakarta or Bali and then a domestic flight to Sorong. There are several direct flights from Jakarta to Sorong departing between 00.00-01.00am. Departing the Forgotten Island, best international is Jakarta. From Jakarta, guests will need to take more than a single domestic flight to reach the Saumlaki Airport.
Komodo - In Komodo your dream adventure can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where Komodo Dragons are still found in the wild. These small islands are fringed with sandy beaches where guests may see the dragons patrolling the beach. Underwater there are amazing creatures awaiting your discovery. Dives may encounter the hobbit worm. a rhynopia, a lady bug, or skeleton shrimp. Komodo is not only famous for macro life, but there is also an abundance of fish and corals due to the nutrient-rich waters.
Raja Ampat - The myth is told that each King reigns over one of four main islands, Misool, Salawati, Batanta, and Waigeo. Raja Ampat is not one of the most frequently visited scuba diving areas but there are few places better on earth. The highest marine diversity on the planet, beautiful topside scenery, and awesome underwater topography makes the Raja Ampat islands close to heaven. Stand on the bow of the Tiré, sailing towards the islands gives you an amazing feeling of freedom. There are a variety of dive sites to satisfy every diver’s taste and skill level: from wall to slopes, caves and canyons, seamounts, muck diving, and wrecks.
Forgotten Islands - These islands are part of the Maluku Tenggara which is a 1.000 km chain of archipelagos running from East Timor to Western Papua. Undeveloped, distant from population centers and off the beaten path. These islands have been isolated from the rest of the world. We will be diving some unexplored reefs, but also visit an area where hammerheads have been schooling. And if you want to see an active volcano, we can guarantee an eruption. And wait until sunset to see the hot lava flow down the slopes into the ocean.
Divers have the option of air or nitrox (EAN-certificate required), and all tanks are fitted with either DIN or international valves. Each diver will have their own diving station with individual storage, as well as access to hot showers located on the dive deck. Each diver will also be provided with an 'ENOS' beacon for added safety precautions. The Tiaré offers nitrox but does not support technical diving or rebreathers.

Dive Conditions

Conditions can make or break your trip. Temperature, visibility and the current vary greatly across this expansive country. Be sure to check the conditions of each destination you’re planning to dive before you leave. Diving is excellent year-round, but the best time is from May to September. Monsoon season is from December to June. Visibility may not be as good during the monsoon, however, certain locations like the Komodo Islands are a diver’s dream during this time due to an influx of mantas.
Most of Indonesia can be dived year-round with March to October being the most popular time of year to dive. This period of time marks the dry season in most parts of the country, with the exception of some dive areas like Ambon and southern Raja Ampat where most rainfall occurs in May/June to October/September due to the southern monsoon. It's best to visit these areas in the months of November to April for optimal dive conditions.
Generally speaking, Indonesia's climate is almost entirely tropical, with May to September as the dry season, and October to April the rainy season, and with heavier rainfall from December through February. However, the opposite might be true for certain dive areas in Indonesia like Raja Ampat and Ambon, and the best time of year to visit Indonesia really depends on where you intend to stay in the country.
The water temperatures remain quite consistent through the country, hovering at 26°-29°C (82°- 85°F) year-round. Typically, you won't need anything more than a 3-5mm wetsuit, or even a skinsuit. However, the diving conditions and difficulty in Indonesia hugely vary, depending on where and when you dive in the country.
Ambon Bay, Maluku – world class muck diving. Critters that can be seen here include rhinopias, frogfish, ghost pipefish, lots of juvenile fish, stonefish, mandarin fish, nudibranchs, harlequin and coleman shrimps, wonderpus, mimic and flamboyant cuttlefish, and even the much-sought-after psychedelic frogfish.
Alor, East Nusa Tenggara – the hidden gem. This off-the-beaten-path dive destination offers a mix of both world-class wide-angle and macro sites. Pristine coral reefs, steep walls, sloping muck sites--the diving in Alor is really diverse and would please the most discerning diver and underwater photographer.
Banda Sea, Maluku – sea snakes and hammerheads. Most of the diving around the Banda Sea involves excellent wall dives, and great macro sites, but the biggest draw is probably the resident sea snakes at Manuk and Gunung Api islands.
Bali – wrecks and mola molas. Unique critters, fascinating wrecks, beautiful walls, colorful corals, excellent muck dives, huge schools of fish, pelagics--Bali has it all. Technical diving and freediving are also possible in Bali with a good number of reputable dive operations.
Derawan Islands, Borneo – manta rays and whalesharks. Derawan is a remote group of islands in East Kalimantan (East Borneo), and is home to one of the three jellyfish lakes known to men, with the other two located in Palau and Misool Island in Raja Ampat.
Komodo, East Nusa Tenggara – drift dives and world class reefs. Komodo National Park is a group of volcanic islands with over 5,700 giant lizards known as Komodo dragons. This UNESCO World Heritage Site also hosts a world-class scuba diving scene. Imagine drift dives with colorful corals in various formations teeming with marine life, big and small. Divers can see big schools of fish pretty much year-round, as well as eagle and manta rays.
Lembeh, North Sulawesi – muck diving capital. Known as the world's capital for muck diving, Lembeh Strait in North Sulawesi offers second-to-none macro biodiversity. The number species that you can cross off your list within a week of diving Lembeh is staggering.
Manado and Bunaken, North Sulawesi – wall dives and reefs. Manado Bay offers a mix of great muck and reef sites, treating divers to unique critters like mimic octopus and flamboyant cuttlefish, as well as various seahorses, squid, nudibranchs, and frogfish.
Raja Ampat, West Papua – the holy grail of Indonesia. Alongside Kaimana Regency and Triton Bay in the south, and Cenderawasih Bay in the east, Raja Ampat archipelago makes up a massive area, collectively known as the Bird’s Head Seascape. Divers can visit the Raja Ampat area many times in their lifes and discover something new each time.
Wakatobi, South East Sulawesi – beautiful coral reefs. Wakatobi's reefs are extremely healthy and offer unique large coral formations, various sea fans, and sponges which are overflowing with marine life. The underwater topography is no less unique, featuring various walls, ridges, and overhangs. While it's not the place for large pelagics, eagle rays and reef sharks can typically be seen.
