Ondina 船宿, 印度尼西亚

Awesome crew that enabled a fabulous dive trip

Great people who really look after the divers and are flexible to support their needs whether you want one to one support, to dive for longer than the standard 60 minutes, to explore with your buddy etc. Divers are organised into very small groups with dive masters who are excellent and will go at a pace that suits you which makes for a great experience. Other crew are similarly very helpful, looking after your dive gear, cooking meals to order if you weren't keen on the menu etc. The price point of this boat is quite a bit lower than some others that appeared to provide a more luxurious service...in my view it wouldn't be worth the extra money, we saw some of these 'expensive boats' and in future will completely avoid them as all we saw was very large dive groups that were extremely disruptive under water. Other divers on the same trip agreed with us, some were returning to the Ondina for the second or third time due to the more personalised service. However, Ondina team.....you need to fix the leaks....getting drenched in bed in the middle of the night when it rained is not what divers pay a lot of money for....please do a bit of maintenance as this is letting you down.

Ondina was fabulous

Obviously the underwater stuff is stunning but above water we had side trips to the Papuan villages, the birds of paradise, Wayag as unexpected extras. Ondina has a beautiful wooden interior and is very comfortable. I felt the leadership and crew cared that you had an enjoyable and memorable experience; I did.

Excellent dive guiding; interesting side trips; and great meals and snacks

not as good as we imagined

The boat is comfortable enough, aesthetically beautiful, the crew and the guides do everything possible to make the trip a very good experience. The problem is that the expectations we had in this area were very high and have not been met, the reefs are very well preserved but there is not the amount of fish that you would expect from such a remote area. The route of the ship is excessively long, which means that there are several days with few possibilities to do more than two dives, in other cases all the dives of the same day have been done in the same place. What also seems out of place is that the Nitrox is not included in the price of the trip, as well as the payment of port berths and other expenses that make the final price paid too high.

A very nice way to explore the seas around Komodo

South of Komodo makes its demands on those diving there. The water is chill (down to 22C), the visibility is so-so. And the current is strong. But this hardship also offers its rewards with great wildlife in stunning scenery. Manta Alley in the south of Komodo is aptly named diving spot. Schools of these majestic creatures danced for us for hours. The local crew and the diving staff was friendly and knowledgeable. This live aboard is highly recommended for eager divers with already a few dives logged. A perfect 5/7 on the Sullivan scale. That being said, I would not bring a non-diving partner with me on this boat as it is a boat and itennery designed for diving. The luxury elements of a floating spa is somewhat lacking:).

Great diving, beautyful boat, friendly staff

Confort simple , mais plongee formidable !!!

Le bateau est très beau et confort. Les plus : plongee top , beaucoup de vie , très bonne organisation des plongées . Nourriture abondante,bonne et varié. Ambiance super , staff présent sans être trop présent . Visite à terre sympa . Nitrox général . Les moins : cabine petite et présence d'un lit superposée dans chaque chambre qui diminue l espace( couple). Wc marin , bof mais on si fait . Douche froides dans les cabine ( dommage car il y a des chauffe eau solaire , parfait ici ) mais chaude sur le pont. Nous le referons
