Diving in Saleh Bay, Indonesia, was nothing short of spectacular. The anticipation built as we geared up for our first dive, eager to encounter a very special ocean giant.

Why dive Komodo with Mermaid Liveaboards?

There are reasons why DIVE Magazine’s readers have voted Mermaid I and II among the Top Ten World Best Liveaboards for multiple years.

We are a 5 star liveaboards that provides luxury and exceptional service through our friendly, experienced & professional crews. Our consistency in conducting high quality, environmentally friendly operations while at the same time supporting the local people, has brought us our most significant achievement: a high level of repeater guests.

Mermaid Liveaboards won a total of 9 (nine!!) SCUBA Diving Magazine 2024 Readers Choice awards, including First Place in these categories:
Best Overall
Quality of Staff
Level of Safety.

The other awards we won are in the following categories: Level of Value (2nd Place), Quality of Rental Gear (2nd Place), Quality of the Liveaboard, Level of Luxury, Quality of the Berths, and Quality of the Food.

Another special thing about joining a Mermaid Liveaboards Komodo trip is that our trips start and finish in Bali. Besides the traveling convenience, this gives you the chance to dive at Sangeang, an active volcano. Its bubbly water is home to many critters which makes it a great macro dive and is among the favourite places for underwater photographers.

As if these were not enough, this route also allows us to visit Saleh Bay for diving and snorkeling with the gentle giants, Whale Sharks!!
