A fantastic adventure

We had a wonderful Banda Sea 12 days cruise with the Samambaia and its team.
Aside that the boat is all woody beautiful, it is spacious, very well designed for divers. The common area is large and well organized. The room are bigger than usual.
The crew is very attentive to answering any guest needs - very caring with the diving equipment. Dive sites were beautiful and the cruise director cared for the feedback of divers on the different dive sites proposed to adjust the itinerary accordingly. Our dive guide was a pearl (amazing Olrlando).
The food was absolutely amazing and very diverse. A fantastic experience all together.

Amazing trip

It was an amazing experience! The crew was super nice and made sure everything ran smoothly. The cabins were comfy, and the food was really tasty with lots of variety. The diving was top-notch, with stunning underwater views and well-planned dives. Each dive was well-organized, and the guides were knowledgeable about the marine life we encountered. We explored vibrant coral reefs, swam alongside manta rays, sharks (reef, whale, nurse). The night dives were a real highlight, offering a completely different experience. The jacuzzi was definitely a post-dive highlight. Overall, the diving exceeded my expectations and made the trip unforgettable! Overall, I had a blast and would totally recommend it!

Questions and Answers

What type of facilities usually can be offered?

  • Charging Stations on Dive Deck: These are designed to let divers recharge their camera batteries right where the action is. By placing charging stations on the dive deck, photographers can conveniently charge their equipment without having to change out of wetsuits or enter dry zones during surface intervals.
  • Camera Storage: Specialized compartments or lockers for securely storing cameras and other photography equipment. This ensures that your expensive gear is safe and organized, helping you quickly grab what you need before each dive.
  • Camera Table: A dedicated table often found on the dive deck, offering ample space to assemble, disassemble, or adjust your underwater camera gear. This space is optimized for photographers to prepare their cameras before plunging into the depths.
  • Separate Rinsing Tanks for Underwater Cameras: These are dedicated tanks filled with fresh water where photographers can rinse off their camera equipment after a dive. Having separate tanks prevents cross-contamination from general scuba equipment, maintaining the integrity of sensitive camera components
