Mermaid II is a 33-meter, twin-engine steel motor yacht offering budget-friendly diving cruises across Indonesia's best destinations, such as Komodo, Raja Ampat, and the Banda Sea. She can host up to 18 guests in eight Deluxe cabins and up to two guests in low-budget cabins. Deluxe cabins are on the main deck, all with the option for either a double bed or twin beds, panoramic windows, individually controlled air-conditioning, and en-suite bathrooms. Two budget cabins are below deck, both with twin bunks, vanity sink, air-conditioning, and shared bathroom access via a connecting door into an adjoining cabin.

Social areas on board are available with no charge and welcome guests. The spacious main deck forward dining area accommodates all guests in one major setting and serves buffet meals of both Asian and Western cuisine. Adjacent to the dining area, the saloon features a comfortable lounge area and features a multimedia center, flat screen television, and marine life library. Complimentary beverages of all kinds are served throughout the day and include fresh roast coffee, tea, soft drinks, and juices. For those who enjoy relaxing in the open air, the outside decks include a shaded party deck boasting an almost wrap-around cushioned lounge suite, and a forward-of-wheelhouse sundeck offering full or partial sun options.

The dive deck is very spacious, and designed for functionality and comfort. Individual storage boxes for dive gear, camera tables, and several rinse tanks grace this area. The stern platform is specifically designed for easy water access, fitted with dual exit ladders and warm water showers. At the end of every dive, fresh towels are provided, complemented with hot chocolate after night dives for added comfort.

Starlink internet is easy to connect to onboard, with all guests receiving a complimentary 3GB data plan on arrival. Larger data packages are also available for those requiring more comprehensive data.

Itineraries take divers to world-renowned sites across Indonesia, specifically Raja Ampat, Komodo, and the Banda Sea, which offer some of the most diverse underwater landscapes anywhere in the world. Sightings may include vibrant coral reefs, deep-water trenches, and submerged volcanoes, rich in marine biodiversity. This could mean schooling fish, a variety of shark species, mantas, and the fascinating pygmy seahorses among record numbers of coral species

Excellent diving and food offsets small cabin inconveniences
I enjoyed the Komodo dive trip on the Mermaid II. Most of the dives were 60min or longer, with abundant marine life and vibrant corals. I thoroughly enjoyed most buffet dishes served on board, with a good variety of fruits and snacks. All the staff are friendly and helpful. The cabin size is a bit small, especially given the high price of the trip.

Best diving and one of the best liveaboard's ever!!!
This is one of our best dive liveaboard's ever. The organisation is great, super briefings with excellent presentations on the dive sites, great dive sites, particularly in the National Park. Copies of all briefings available on USB!! A couple of shore trips, one to see the dragons. The crew are amazing, super helpful in getting set up or after a dive helping to get wet suits off. NITROX quality always spot on 32%. Guides are experienced on the sites and felt super safe the whole time. Food was amazing with all meals with fruit every meal and fresh vegetables at lunch and dinner. Again service in the dinning room superb. The dive sites in the NP are excellent, Castle Rock totally immersed in fish with sharks, giant Trevellies and Napoleon. Manta Alley big groups of Manta and up close. Corals in very good condition. Sites outside the NP still with good fish but some with damage due to dynamite fishing but recovering. Cabins a bit small but with 4 dives a day not a lot of time spent in the cabins. Would we do it again? Already discussing it!!! Ing the manager and Angela our guide get special mention.
