Why Dive with Us?

Mikumba Diving has been running liveaboard trips in Komodo and Raja Ampat since 2018.

We have a very experienced boat crew and fantastic dive guides on our boats.

Jelajahi Laut is less than two years old, she’s our luxurious mid range liveaboard that cruises through both Raja Ampat and Komodo National Park, as well as crossing between these 2 places via Alor, Ambon and the Banda Sea, covering the best diving in Indonesia.

Nusantara is our budget safari boat, she spends the whole year in Komodo, and was completely renovated in 2021.

Between our boats we suit every budget, from backpackers who want to sleep on deck to those who want more comfort with their dive adventures, in a luxury Sea View cabin with a private balcony!

Easy 5 stars. My wife (divemaster) and I (Advanced) had the best dives ever with an awesome crew, excellent (new) boat with all facilities available, tasty food and just perfect diving experiences. Thanks a ton for the unforgetable days we spent together cruising Komodo dive sites (Divemasters Hans, Derick, Echo and soon to be Roy). ❤️ from Tuoi & Mikkel (Denmark).

Wonderful week on Jelajahi Laut! Amazing diving, crew, knowledgeable dive guides and instructors, and great food. Beds were comfortable and enough space to stow belongings during the trip. A few shore excursions were a nice break from the incredible dives! Would highly recommend booking a trip with them!

We had such an amazing time on our 3D/2N trip around Komodo! We went around town and compared all offers and finally decided for Mikumba because we felt they had the best offer.The people working in the office deserve a lot of praise for their friendliness, great attitude and help. Especially when the trip almost got canceled because the other group of 6 persons made a mistake in their travel plans and was going to miss the boat. They really tried to help us and fix the problem and managed to solve it in time.The trip itself was amazing. We have seen almost all species that Komodo has to offer, had lots of fun with drift dives, wall dives, playing with current and a night dive. The dive masters were funny and made us feel comfortable with difficult dives, even though we didn't have much diving experience. The crew was very helpful in taking care of all our stuff before and after diving and preparing delicious food all the time.It was a memorable trip which we will never forget. Highly recommended to go diving with Mikumba!

We did a 4d/3n liveaboard on the Nusantara with Mikumba in Komodo National Park and it was an amazing experience. We did 12 dives and 2 trekkings (padar + komodo) and also a beach cleanup - Very nice!We slept in a dorm and the beds all had a curtain for some privacy. You could also sleep at the sundeck. There were 2 marine, western toilets with 2 showers inside. The sundeck with bean bags was great for chilling inbetween the dives. The crew was great and super kind, helping with every issue you had.About the diving: the diving gear was nearly new - best we ever had so far. The dive briefing was also the best we have ever had - special thanks to J! He is also a great divemaster/instructor with an excellent knowledge about the marine life (never had a more detailed logbook session before).Special thanks to Yanti for the flexibility during our booking!Just one little thing for improvement (already told them and they are going to fix it):The food in the evening/snacks was very little. The food itself was very tasty (also the vegetarian food) but not enough for hungry divers ;)All in all: Book with Mikumba. You wont regret it!

Jay made the most patient, clear and kind instructor to help us achieve our Open water Padi in the Komodo National Park. We felt safe and comfortable at all times, and felt he had our best interests at heart. The whole team were friendly, and their boat so beautiful! We would 100% recommend to anyone to dive with Mikumba!
