Dancing Wind, Indonesia

The Dancing Wind is a 47-meter traditional Phinisi constructed to offer unforgettable diving tours around Indonesia's best marine destinations. It can welcome 20 guests aboard in eight tastefully designed cabins, including two double cabins and six twin cabins-four of them with the possibility of accommodating one more guest. Each cabin is equipped with an en-suite bathroom, hot showers, individually controlled air-conditioning, and panoramic windows framing breathtaking sea views.

The social spaces aboard the yacht allow plenty of room for relaxation and interaction. The salon itself is spacious and features a TV with home cinema surround sound; a perfect spot to while away some relaxing time after a dive. Three spacious lounge decks round out the ambiance, ideal for ocean viewing or star gazing. A large dining area serves a menu featuring Indonesian, European, and Japanese cuisine. Guests are treated to five freshly prepared meals daily, and beverages such as soft drinks, tea, coffee, and beer are included on non-discounted trips.

Divers are catered for by a large dive deck with plentiful storage and individual lockers. There's even a camera room for underwater photographers, complete with maintenance areas and charging points. Nitrox is available on board, as well as technical diving, making for safe, exhilarating dives. Four dives a day are possible, including night dives. Your experienced guides lead the dives at a very low 4:1 diver-to-guide ratio to ensure personal attention.

The itineraries cover Indonesia's renowned dive destinations: Raja Ampat, known for its rich coral reefs with a variety of marine life; Halmahera for its unique macro life; and other routes that offer the Banda Sea and Sulawesi with varied underwater landscapes featuring pelagic species and coral gardens. Emphasizing sustainability, each trip fosters environmental awareness and preservation of these pristine marine environments.

Traditional in design, the yacht is balanced with modern amenities, giving just about equal measures of adventure and comfort-a real holiday for divers wanting to see Indonesia's underwater wonders
