Pindito

The MV Pindito offers cruises to the Komodo National park and to Irian Jaya (Raja Empat), as well as an adventure-diving tour, which lies in between these two regions, twice a year. Pindito knows the areas for more than 15 years and has cruised Raja Ampat years before any other liveaboard was there.
The swiss owners guarantee a unique combination of comfort and the ambience of the characteristically Indonesian way.

Recent renovations have ensured that Pindito remains the #1 choice for diving the remote waters of Indonesia. Pindito was launched in the Indonesian Sea for the first time in March 1992. After many years and several thousand dives in Indonesia, Edi, Pindito's skipper/owner and his crew know the best dive sites in Eastern Indonesia, namely West Papua (Raja Ampat), the Moluccas, Nusa Tenggara and Bali. Their expertise and dedication to this beautiful region guarantees an unforgettable liveaboard experience.
