The Ikan Biru can house up to 8 guests. The boat has two guest bathrooms with hot freshwater showers below deck. The onboard chef serves freshly baked bread every morning, which he makes in the fully stocked kitchen. Upon request, the Ikan Biru can cater to specific dietary requests. The spacious upper deck is the perfect place to relax between dives in the daytime. In the evening, it is set up as a comfortable dining area. At night, the comfortable mattresses and bedding make it the perfect spot for guests to keep cool while sleeping under the stars, dreaming of all the incredible wildlife they’ve seen.
Thanks to its one-of-a-kind “hop-on, hop-off” concept, you can board the Ikan Biru for 3-12 nights, allowing you to explore the region as you see fit. Two dayboats are ready to take you to land when you wish to disembark. The Ikan Biru only accepts Advanced Open Water divers, or you can get your AOW certification and other diving courses on board. While aboard the Ikan Biru, you can dive three times a day, sometimes more. This lets you visit the best sites, such as Manta Point and The Cauldron.

Go, if you have the chance! Great experiance!
I had a great time in Ikan Biru! The food is really good. The staff is also very caring. After every dive they serve tea or coffee and either a meal or a fresh baked snack (brownies etc.)! The dive guides are very kind and they do a very good dive briefing before every dive. Sleeping on the deck is very comfortable. We saw all kinds of fish, sharks, octopus, turtles, mantra rays and even dolphins swimming next to our boat. Very much recommend this trip

Unforgettable immersion in the heart of Komodo
We had an exceptional experience aboard the Ikan Biru, four days of diving and sharing that will remain engraved in our memories. Each site explored offered us its share of wonders: the majestic mantas of Mawan welcomed us in their graceful ballet, while the Komodo current in Siaba Kecil offered us an unparalleled adrenaline rush. The Cauldron, on the other hand, was a dive as spectacular as it was formative, a real learning ground for lovers of the current.The multicolored corals, the sharks present on almost every dive, and the richness of underwater life made each descent an adventure. Ricky, always taking care after each dive, was able to make the experience even more comfortable and reassuring. And our group... What a great energy! Everyone contributed to making each moment a precious moment, between mutual aid, smiles and shared wonder.A huge thank you to the whole team for this magical interlude. The Ikan Biru is not just a boat: it is a floating cocoon where passion, professionalism and conviviality are mixed. See you soon for new bubbles!

Great liveaboard option when you're on a budget
I had an absolutely amazing experience on Ikan Biru. All the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The boat is a basic budget option, nothing fancy, but it was still a totally nice ship, well maintained and comfy. Of course you don't get a/c and much privacy, but it's not geared towards that crowd. We had plenty of space on the ship, the food was great and the diving was a lot of fun. I just wished that our DM pointed out a little more stuff, especially of the smaller kind. I'm able to see the sharks, rays and turtles myself, but I don't know where all the macro is, if I'm not familiar with the dive sites. Other than that it was a perfect trip. I can totally recommend to book with these guys!

Magical experience, friendly staff, knowledgeable guides, and great value.
All the colour and diversity of the corals and fish and other animals on the reefs. Turtles and mantas!! And just the beautiful landscape of the islands all around is breathtaking!!

- The dive guides take you to amazing sites and spot so many things to see that I would have missed. The staff take care of everything, the gear, the food, setting up beds. Sleeping on the top deck is an added bonus, very comfortable space with the stars above (there is a roof, don't worry), and sea breeze, while nice and cosy in bed, and because there is no need for air conditioned cabin, the engine can turn off at night so you can listen to the water.

Great liveaboard!
We had a wonderful time on this liveaboard. The dive suites were comfortable and well-equipped, and the guides provided clear briefings that made us feel confident in the water. The boat itself was more spacious than we expected, and overall it was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Highlight of our trip!
I would recommend this trip to anybody! We went for 4 days during our honeymoon and it was easily the highlight of our whole trip! We did some of the best diving of my life, met incredible people, and lived on a pirate ship. I don’t know what else you could ask for. The diving was absolutely stunning, and the dive master elevated the experience by showing us all the cool spots and helped improve our skills as divers with little experience. The first few dives were very easy going, and then got progressively more thrilling, capping it off with “The Cauldron” where we go to glide through a beautiful array of fish and coral like a roller coaster.
