This 52-meter liveaboard is tailored especially for divers, taking guests on tours around Indonesia's famous sites such as Raja Ampat, Komodo, and the Banda Sea. It can accommodate 19-20 passengers across nine double/twin en-suite cabins and two single cabins with air conditioning and further facilities including mini-safes and fans. The upper deck cabins have great views and the lower deck cabins allow a little more room for comfort.

The liveaboard has several areas with different options to be social; this all together makes it an ideal setting to relax between dives. The restaurant enjoys ample seating and entertainment facilities to meet the needs of ideal dining. It also features a shaded lounge and a panoramic sun deck to provide scenic spots where guests can relax. Meals on board range from Indonesian to Western cuisine and offer different dishes and options for dietary needs.

This is a photographer's and diver's dream, complete with a huge dive deck featuring three tenders and a fully-equipped camera room with dedicated charging stations and work areas. Safety is ensured with the ENOS - Electronic Navigation and Observation System technology, double engines, and an elaborative emergency kit, to ensure all guests can relax knowing that they are safe while on board.

These are itineraries centered around Indonesia's underwater biodiversity, from colorful coral reefs to encounters with sharks, manta rays, and macro species. Each journey is composed of a set of different experiences one encounters, from land excursions for Komodo dragons to exploring indigenous villages, making each dive vacation a culturally immersed one. Regular dry-dock refurbishments keep the vessel current for a trustworthy, immersive liveaboard experience through some of the most biodiverse marine ecosystems in the world.

With Amira Liveaboard, get the best diving vacations that one can look for. On this vessel, one will find a qualitative, experienced team, comfort on board, and dives made in some Indonesian places

Poor visibility
The Amira is a good live-aboard and Raja Ampat has been a sort after destination for me. However the underwater visibility was poor overall and I would be reluctant to dive there again...
