Has anyone done the Pindito? I’m looking at Ambon to Sorong in November.

Can I ask when you went on La Galigo? I read that they were going to be working on it on dry dock in May of 2017 so interested if you were on it before or after that.

Before that.

Good boat. You don't stay in business that long for no reason. I've got a copy of a magazine from the 1980s about Pindito exploring raja empat. I've dived one of the sites Pindito found - Edis Black Forrest - if the quality of their dive sites is indicative of the quality of the boat - it's on my "one day" list.

I'm doing my one day list now as I'm running out of days.

Hiya
We did Komodo/Flores in Sept 2017 onboard the Samambaia and had a great time onboard.

The boat is fantastic; lots of room especially when kitting up, crew were a great bunch and the owner was on board and was great company.

We’ve stuck mainly to the Maldives but last year thought we’d try somewhere else but main need was for a liveaboard that didn’t have 20+ divers; the boats we’ve used in the Maldives had 12max divers and we wanted something similar and the Samambaia ticked all the boxes - so much so that the boats on the agenda for 2019 (2018 dive trips already booked) on a R4 trip.

Book it up if you haven’t already done so and enjoy the bubbles....

I concur, the Samambaia is great. I just posted a trip review from last March: Trip Report: Raja Ampat on the Samambaia March 2018
