Beautiful diving on a lovely boat!
Terrific boat and crew. Great safety practices and a wonderful onboard culture. This is a great mid-level experience....very comfortable....not the highest end luxury, but good value and good diving. I was both energized by amazing diving and relaxed by a very solid on-board experience. I would definitely dive with Makumba again....looking forward to their new boat in early 2027!

10/10 - a thoroughly well organised company, enjoyed every second!
It was thoroughly well put together, with 15 staff to attend to the 12 guests. All the way from engineer, to boat decks, kitchen staff, to dive guides - all were exceptional. The boat itself is incredibly comfortable, with plenty of space to chill in-between dives and rooms are well kept. The food was delicious every meal and we certainly didn't go hungry! Eric and Camille run the whole operation incredibly well, and go the extra mile with non-dive activities such as hikes, shexpert talks (shark expert) and a bit of ornithology. The days are packed but that's a good thing, and it's amazing how much you can fit into the week, with a total of 23 dives. Importantly, they genuinely care about the reef, its inhabitants, and the protection of them which is refreshing. Watching fellow divers smash up the coral with their fins actually ruins holidays but they really keep an eye on this. Thoroughly recommend this organisation if you're considering Raja Ampat.

A Huge Thank You to the Jelajahi Laut Crew We just returned from an unforgettable 6-day liveaboard in Komodo National Park aboard the Jelajahi Laut, and we cannot thank the crew enough for making this experience truly special. From the moment we stepped on board, we felt welcomed, cared for, and treated like family.

A very special thanks to Cam for being our dive guide: your professionalism, calmness underwater, and eye for detail gave us unforgettable dives. You always made us feel safe, confident, and inspired to enjoy every moment. • Chef Burhan & Chef Helper Kipli: A very special thanks to you, Chef Burhan, for going the extra mile to prepare dishes we love — every meal was not only delicious and creative but also made with such thoughtfulness.

Incredible Trip in Komodo
An unforgettable Komodo experience from start to finish. The diving is without question among the best in the world, with extraordinary marine life and breathtaking reefs at every site. Special thanks to Eric and Camille, the outstanding cruise directors, whose expertise and warmth set the tone for the entire journey. Equal appreciation goes to the crew, whose skill, attentiveness, and constant good spirits ensured that every detail was flawless. A truly world-class operation.

Great organization, Excellent diving, Comfortable and Enjoyable
I did a ten day trip on the J. L. And very much enjoyed it! The crew was always enthusiastic and on point. The trip was organized so we were able to dive all of the top sites in Komodo, but done in a way where we almost completely avoided crowds- something I didn’t think would be possible! They created a clear, consistent itinerary/daily schedule, and communication between crew and guests was excellent. The J. L is a comfy, homey boat where you can relax and just enjoy your time. Chef did great preparing a combination of Indonesian and western food. Meals are a combination of plated/buffet. While I wouldn’t call the boat ‘luxury’ the crew works hard to meet all of your needs and create a memorable experience. I’d recommend this boat/company time and time again.
