Raja Ampat liveaboard - which boat?

Depends a bit on the type of boat, traditional Indo sailing ship or cruise ships like the Mermaid. You might consider the White and Black Manta as well as Mermaid. For more traditional ships which may be part of the experience you want...Pindito, Dewi Nusantara, Arenui, Damai, Tambora, Amira on the upper end. Pearl of Papua, Seahorse on the mid-range. I just had a couple on the Wicked Diving ship which was budget end and they had a blast. I can often discount the high end ships to get you in the budget range.

I'll second the comments from an earlier poster about Tambora. I just got home from a 12 day trip on Tambora and it was awesome. The boat owner, Uwe, is a very precise, detail-oriented German engineer who is a true diving enthusiast. He went with us on almost every dive and definitely knew whet he was doing. What I liked was that everything on the boat worked and worked correctly. The crew worked together as a team and everything always happened right on time. From my perspective, it was a near perfect trip and I will definitely be back for another trip with Uwe.
