インドネシアのダイビング・リブアボード — 業界向け。
Indonesia is the diving capital of the world — Raja Ampat, Komodo, Bunaken and the Gilis, with resort diving, day boats and phinisi liveaboards at net rates.
自社運営で、最初から最後まで責任を負います。
From the manta points of Komodo to the impossible biodiversity of Raja Ampat, we operate Indonesia’s dive product end to end: certified resort diving and day boats, premium phinisi liveaboards, marine-park permits, and the flights and boat transfers that reach the remote sites. Booked by season, tide and certification level.
このセグメントになぜインドネシアか
Indonesia sits at the heart of the Coral Triangle and is, by measured biodiversity, the best diving on earth — Raja Ampat and Komodo above all — with a phinisi liveaboard culture that turns a dive trip into a once-in-a-lifetime voyage.
対象： Dive operators and agents selling the world’s richest underwater destination.
Indonesia sits at the heart of the Coral Triangle and holds some of the finest diving on Earth, but it is geographically vast and each region has its own logic. Raja Ampat in the far east is the biodiversity crown, reached via Sorong and dived almost entirely by liveaboard or remote eco-resort. Komodo combines dragons above water with thrilling current diving below, run from Labuan Bajo by day boat or phinisi liveaboard. Bunaken and Lembeh near Manado pair wall diving with world-class muck diving for macro photographers, while the Gili islands off Lombok offer easy, accessible diving and the turtles that make them a favourite first taste.
Choosing the format is the planning crux. Resort diving — day boats out from a shore base — suits divers who want comfort, families with mixed interests, and the Gilis, Bunaken and Lembeh. Phinisi liveaboards are the only sensible way to dive the spread-out sites of Raja Ampat and the best of Komodo, sleeping aboard to reach reefs no day boat touches. Every protected area carries marine-park permits and conservation fees, which we pre-arrange; dives are matched to certification level, with current-savvy briefings where Komodo's flows demand them; and the dry-season window (roughly April to October, with Raja Ampat best October to April) drives the calendar.

How diving & liveaboards works with Explera — step by step.
すべての案件は、最初の問い合わせから取引完了まで同じ責任あるシーケンスをたどります。以下はご予約が進むワークフローと、各段階で当社にご期待いただける内容です。
Brief & dive profile
Send certification levels, logged-dive counts, the divers' interests (big animals, macro, wrecks, reefs), dates and budget. We respond inside one business day with a region and format recommendation — Raja Ampat liveaboard, Komodo phinisi, Bunaken-Lembeh resort, Gili day boats — matched to the experience level, because the wrong site for the wrong diver is the classic avoidable mistake.
Operator & vessel selection
We shortlist inspected dive resorts, day-boat operators and phinisi liveaboards with real availability, net rates and our honest read on each: cabin standard, dive guide ratios, nitrox and equipment, and the safety record. Liveaboard cabins and resort rooms in the prime regions book out a year ahead, so we move on the file fast and block the best berths early.
Permits & logistics
Marine-park permits and conservation fees for Komodo, Raja Ampat and the other protected areas are arranged and pre-paid, ranger fees included where the park requires them. We sequence the access logistics — the Sorong flights into Raja Ampat, the Manado connections for Bunaken and Lembeh, the Labuan Bajo embarkation for Komodo — against the diving days and the boat schedule.
Booking & certification check
On confirmation we contract the operator, lodge the deposit, and confirm certification cards and recent dive currency. Where a diver needs a refresher or a check-out dive before the demanding sites, we build it in. Non-diving partners and children are programmed alongside — snorkelling, beach time, the dragon trek — so the whole party is catered for, not just the divers.
On-site & in-water support
From embarkation or check-in, the operator runs the diving and our desk backstops the file: transfer timings, dietary needs aboard, an equipment problem, a weather re-route. Briefings are matched to the conditions — Komodo's currents are no place for a casual brief — and the desk works any disruption in Indonesian while keeping the partner informed in their own language.
締めと照合
At file close the account reconciles against the quotation: dive package, permits and fees, transfers and any rentals or nitrox, all itemised. Variances are explained, the working currency is yours, and the dive log usually books the next trip itself — a Komodo file becoming a Raja Ampat one the following season is the most natural upsell in our portfolio.
What is included in diving & liveaboards — in detail.
上のまとめは1枚のカードに収まる内容です。各項目が運用上で実際に何を意味するかを以下に示します。パートナーは再販する前に、ネットレートが何を買うのかを知る権利があるからです。
Resort diving and day boats
Resort diving and day boats — operated with licensed boat operators and certified crew on vessels we inspect, from day boats to ultra-luxury phinisi. Marine-park permits and ranger fees are pre-arranged, departures are timed against the tides and the season, and dive programs are matched to certification level with proper safety procedures. The water is the product in eastern Indonesia, and getting the boat, the permit and the timing right is the classic avoidable failure. It is itemised on the quotation, so you can show clients exactly what their rate buys.
Phinisi liveaboard charters
Phinisi liveaboard charters — operated with licensed boat operators and certified crew on vessels we inspect, from day boats to ultra-luxury phinisi. Marine-park permits and ranger fees are pre-arranged, departures are timed against the tides and the season, and dive programs are matched to certification level with proper safety procedures. The water is the product in eastern Indonesia, and getting the boat, the permit and the timing right is the classic avoidable failure. Partners can request the underlying detail — supplier names, specifications, timings — at any point.
Raja Ampat, Komodo, Bunaken, Gilis
Raja Ampat, Komodo, Bunaken, Gilis — included in the net rate and operated under the same standards as every other element of diving & liveaboards: licensed suppliers, written confirmations, a named coordinator and the 24/7 desk behind it. We treat the quiet line items with the same care as the headline ones, because programs are judged by the day that goes wrong, and any element can be that day. If a file does not need it, we say so and quote without it; nothing is padded in.
Marine-park permits and rangers
Marine-park permits and rangers — operated with licensed boat operators and certified crew on vessels we inspect, from day boats to ultra-luxury phinisi. Marine-park permits and ranger fees are pre-arranged, departures are timed against the tides and the season, and dive programs are matched to certification level with proper safety procedures. The water is the product in eastern Indonesia, and getting the boat, the permit and the timing right is the classic avoidable failure. The operations desk owns delivery on this line, with a named coordinator accountable for it.
Certification and equipment support
Certification and equipment support — included in the net rate and operated under the same standards as every other element of diving & liveaboards: licensed suppliers, written confirmations, a named coordinator and the 24/7 desk behind it. We treat the quiet line items with the same care as the headline ones, because programs are judged by the day that goes wrong, and any element can be that day. It is covered by the same 24/7 support and incident process as every other element.
Manta and reef-season routing
Manta and reef-season routing — operated with licensed boat operators and certified crew on vessels we inspect, from day boats to ultra-luxury phinisi. Marine-park permits and ranger fees are pre-arranged, departures are timed against the tides and the season, and dive programs are matched to certification level with proper safety procedures. The water is the product in eastern Indonesia, and getting the boat, the permit and the timing right is the classic avoidable failure. Documentation for this element travels in the client pack, in plain language, before departure.
Two practical notes on reading this list. First, it is a floor, not a ceiling: requirements that fall outside it — an unusual language, a tighter timing, a compliance document your market demands — are quoted as named lines rather than refused, and the answer to "can you also" is usually yes with a price attached. Second, every line above is auditable: registered partners can request the supplier contracts, licence copies and specification sheets that sit behind any element of diving & liveaboards, because reselling a service you cannot verify is a risk no agent should be asked to carry.
Where we run diving & liveaboards in Indonesia.
サービスラインはその足場となる現場次第です。都市ごとに、これが実際にどう運営されるか — ゲートウェイ、季節、そして提供を形づくる現地のロジックを示します。
Diving & liveaboards in Raja Ampat
The richest marine biodiversity on earth — Papua’s dream-dive archipelago. It is one of the proven home grounds for diving & liveaboards on the Explera network. From Raja Ampat, the program leans nature and deep culture: the world-class diving of Raja Ampat and Bunaken, the Piaynemo viewpoint, and the extraordinary funeral culture and cliff graves of Tana Toraja. Weather and sea conditions drive the outdoor days, and the logistics-heavy routing is sequenced around the flights and boats that reach these remote places. Clients arrive via Via Sorong (SOQ) — boat to the islands, and tour pickups are confirmed the evening before with the hotel front desk as well as the guest, so no one waits in a lobby rupiahdering. Guides assigned here are nationally licensed for the work and matched to your clients' language first.
Diving & liveaboards in Labuan Bajo
The gateway to Komodo — dragons, pink beaches and liveaboard diving. For diving & liveaboards, it is a market we operate week in, week out — not an occasional request. From Labuan Bajo, the program is the water: the Komodo and Rinca dragon treks with rangers, the Padar viewpoint at sunrise, Pink Beach and the manta-point snorkels, run by day boat or multi-day phinisi. We sequence the days around the tides, the crowds and the park schedule for the best of each site. Clients arrive via LBJ Komodo Airport, and tour pickups are confirmed the evening before with the hotel front desk as well as the guest, so no one waits in a lobby rupiahdering. Join-in departures keep solo and couple files affordable; private versions of every program quote on request.
Diving & liveaboards in Bunaken
North Sulawesi’s wall-diving marine park off Manado. Our Bunaken team handles diving & liveaboards as core daily business, with the local relationships to show for it. From Bunaken, the program leans nature and deep culture: the world-class diving of Raja Ampat and Bunaken, the Piaynemo viewpoint, and the extraordinary funeral culture and cliff graves of Tana Toraja. Weather and sea conditions drive the outdoor days, and the logistics-heavy routing is sequenced around the flights and boats that reach these remote places. Clients arrive via Via Manado (MDC) — 45 min by boat, and tour pickups are confirmed the evening before with the hotel front desk as well as the guest, so no one waits in a lobby rupiahdering. Each program here carries a wet-weather alternative that is genuinely worth doing, not a token substitute.
Diving & liveaboards in Gili Islands
Three car-free islands of turquoise water, turtles and barefoot bars. Demand for diving & liveaboards here is strong across the season, and our local bench is sized for it. Around Gili Islands, touring leans beaches, Sasak culture and the islands: the Kuta bays and surf, the traditional villages, Pink Beach in the south and the snorkel-and-turtle days on the Gilis. The sights are spread out, so we pace the program around honest journey times and the boat schedules. Clients arrive via Via Bali/Lombok — fast boat, and tour pickups are confirmed the evening before with the hotel front desk as well as the guest, so no one waits in a lobby rupiahdering. Entrance fees, meals as listed and hotel pickup are inside the net rate — no on-the-day surprises.
These 4 bases are where diving & liveaboards runs at full operational depth — resident teams, contracted suppliers and daily movements. But the map does not stop at the labels above: the same desk quotes and operates this service anywhere in Indonesia a partner needs it, from secondary provinces to multi-region circuits, drawing on the regional office nearest the action. If your client's brief names a destination you do not see here, send it anyway — the answer is usually yes, with a costed plan attached.
季節性は、パートナーが押さえておくべき計画の軸です。乾季（おおむね4月〜10月）はオールラウンドな時期 — 暖かく晴れた日、穏やかな海、最高のダイビングとビーチのコンディション — で、ヨーロッパの夏と学校休暇により7〜8月にピークを迎え、年末にも再び盛り上がります。雨季（11月〜3月）は蒸し暑い午後に短いスコールが降り、緑豊かな景観と低めの料金で、12〜1月に年末の山があります。要求の高い屋外・水上の要素は、より穏やかな乾季の時間帯と涼しい朝に組み、雨季の日には雨への柔軟性を持たせるため、どの季節でも催行可能に保てます。
現地の風景 — 何が待っているか。
Our operating standards for diving & liveaboards.
基準は具体的でなければ実体を持ちません。これは、このサービスラインのすべての案件で自らに課している管理項目 — 誰が見ていようといまいと実施されるチェックです。
Licensed dive operators
We work only with operators holding the proper licences and recognised-agency affiliations, with certified dive guides and current insurance. The operator's safety record is checked before they appear on a quotation, because diving is unforgiving of corner-cutting.
Inspected vessels
Day boats and phinisi liveaboards are inspected for cabin standard, dive deck, safety equipment, oxygen, and the crew-to-guest ratio. We book the boats we have seen, from comfortable day boats to ultra-luxury liveaboards, and rest any vessel that slips its standard.
Certification matching
Dives are matched to logged experience, not just the card: Komodo's currents and Raja Ampat's depth profiles are programmed for divers ready for them, with refreshers or check-out dives built in where currency is thin. The right diver on the right site is a safety standard, not an upsell.
Permits pre-arranged
Marine-park permits, conservation fees and ranger charges for the protected areas are arranged and pre-paid before arrival, so a diver never loses a morning to a permit queue. The fees are itemised, not buried, so partners see exactly what conservation costs.
Season-driven scheduling
Diving is scheduled into the right window — Raja Ampat October to April, Komodo and the rest through the April-to-October dry season — and against the tides that drive visibility and current. We steer date-flexible files to the season that actually fits the region they want.
Safety-first conduct
Dive computers, surface-marker buoys, sensible no-deco limits and conservative repetitive-dive planning are operator standards we insist on, with oxygen and an evacuation plan aboard. The remote regions make a casual safety culture genuinely dangerous, and we will not book operators who run one.
これらの基準はマーケティングの飾りではなく、パートナーに検証していただくための監査ポイントです。ライセンスの写し、保険証書、視察記録を求めてください。デスク経由でミステリー予約を送り、返ってきたものを採点してください。インドネシアの他所で痛い目に遭った事業者は、最初のシーズンには最も厳しい監査役となり、その後はどのシーズンも最も長く続くパートナーになる傾向があります。精査に耐える基準こそ、印刷する価値のある唯一の基準だからです。自らの基準に届かないとき — それは起こります、これは現実の国における現実のオペレーションです — インシデントノートはそれを率直に記し、是正は同じページに記録されます。
Who books diving & liveaboards — and how to sell it.
4つの顧客プロファイルが、このラインで見られる需要の大半を占めます。貴社の顧客にいずれかが含まれるなら、このサービスは貴社のインドネシア提案に居場所があります。
Experienced divers & dive clubs
The core market: certified divers and clubs chasing the world-class stuff — Raja Ampat's biodiversity, Komodo's currents and mantas, Lembeh's muck. Sell them the format that fits the region (liveaboard for Raja Ampat and Komodo, resort for Bunaken and Lembeh), inspected operators with strong guide ratios, and the permits and logistics handled so they just dive. These files book far ahead and rebook annually for a new region.
Liveaboard charters & groups
Dive groups and clubs taking a whole phinisi liveaboard for a week through Raja Ampat or Komodo — a private boat, a set group, a dedicated dive schedule. We handle the full charter: cabin allocation, the diving programme, permits, the Sorong or Labuan Bajo logistics, and the catering aboard. A whole-boat charter is one of our most profitable products and exactly the complexity a partner wants handled in-country.
New & casual divers, families
First-timers, holiday divers and families where some dive and some do not. The Gilis, Bunaken and the gentler Komodo sites suit them, with resort diving, easy day boats and certification courses available. We programme the non-divers alongside — snorkelling, turtles, the dragon trek, beach time — so a dive trip works for a mixed party rather than splitting it, which is how a couple's dive holiday survives one non-diver.
Underwater photographers
Macro and wide-angle shooters who plan a trip around the subjects: Lembeh for critters, Raja Ampat for wide-angle reefscapes, Komodo for action. These files want longer bottom times, camera-friendly small groups, dedicated guides who know the subjects, and the right season for visibility. We match operators who genuinely cater to photographers — not every good dive operator does — and build the itinerary around the shots.
If your client book does not map neatly onto any profile above, send the brief anyway — the four segments describe the centre of the demand we see, not its edges. The desk quotes diving & liveaboards for niches these cards do not name every week, and an unusual file gets the same 24-hour response discipline as a standard one. The commercial logic for partners is consistent across all of them: net rates that leave your margin yours, white-label delivery that keeps the client relationship yours, and an operations layer in Indonesia that makes the promise you sold survivable in practice.
Diving & liveaboards pricing — what drives the quote.
価格の仕組みを公開しているのは、当て推量が全員の時間を無駄にするからです。このサービスで金額を動かす要因と、ネットレートに含まれるもの・含まれないものを示します。
Dive pricing splits by format. Resort diving prices on room nights plus a dive package (a number of guided dives, tanks and weights), with nitrox, rentals and courses as add-ons. Liveaboards price per cabin per night all-inclusive — cabin, all meals, the dive schedule and usually nitrox — at a band that climbs steeply from comfortable to ultra-luxury phinisi. Marine-park permits and conservation fees are a real, separate line in the protected regions. Indicative bands in IDR and USD go to registered partners so a dive file starts on realistic numbers.
Season and region drive both price and availability. Raja Ampat's October-to-April window and the April-to-October dry season elsewhere are the diving peaks, when the best liveaboard cabins and resort rooms contract a year ahead at top rates. Shoulder dates open value and easier availability. The access logistics add cost — the Sorong flights into Raja Ampat, the Manado connections for Bunaken and Lembeh — which we itemise honestly, because the remoteness that makes the diving great also makes getting there a real line.
Net quotes itemise the dive package or liveaboard cabin, marine-park permits and conservation fees, transfers and flights, and any nitrox, rentals or courses. Excluded unless requested: dive insurance (we strongly recommend cover that includes hyperbaric treatment, arranged as a separate line), personal equipment purchase, and crew gratuities, which are customary on liveaboards and flagged at quotation. Deposits secure cabins and rooms a year out; balances fall due pre-trip, locked at confirmation in IDR or USD, EUR and GBP available.
To turn these principles into a live number, send the dates, party size and the shape of the file — the quotation that returns within one business day is itemised against everything described above, valid for a stated window, and rate-locked the moment you confirm. Registered partners receive the current seasonal rate guidance for diving & liveaboards as a matter of course, including the surcharge calendar for the July–August and year-end peaks, so annual budgeting can start from real numbers rather than last year's hopes. And where a budget and a brief genuinely cannot meet, we say so on the first pass — with the closest workable alternative costed alongside, because a fast honest no is worth more to a working agent than a slow optimistic maybe.

この業種で絶えず登場する5つの用語を、当社が見積もりや契約で使う意味のとおりに定義します。
Liveaboard
A multi-day dive or cruise trip where guests sleep aboard the vessel, reaching remote sites unreachable by day boat. The standard format for Raja Ampat and the best of Komodo.
Marine park permit
The conservation fee and entry permit required for protected waters such as Komodo and Raja Ampat. Arranged and pre-paid by us, with ranger fees where the park requires them.
Phinisi
A traditional Indonesian wooden sailing schooner, now the signature liveaboard and charter vessel for Komodo and Raja Ampat. Ranges from simple day boats to ultra-luxury charters with cabins, crew and chef.
Muck diving
Diving over sand and silt bottoms — Lembeh is the world capital — hunting the rare, tiny and bizarre macro life prized by underwater photographers. The opposite of reefscape wide-angle diving.
Nitrox
Enriched-air breathing gas with more oxygen than normal air, extending no-decompression bottom time. Standard on most liveaboards and a common add-on at dive resorts for certified divers.

Should my clients choose a liveaboard or resort diving?
It depends on the region and the divers. Raja Ampat and the best of Komodo are spread out and remote, so a phinisi liveaboard — sleeping aboard, diving sites no day boat reaches — is really the only way to do them justice. Bunaken, Lembeh and the Gilis are dived comfortably from a shore base by day boat, which suits families, mixed parties and divers who want hotel comfort between dives. We match the format to the region the divers want and the experience they are after.
Which region is best for a first dive trip to Indonesia?
For experienced divers, Komodo is the classic first Indonesia trip — dragons above water, mantas and current diving below, easy access from Labuan Bajo, and a liveaboard or day-boat choice. For newer or casual divers, the Gilis off Lombok offer gentle, accessible diving and turtles. Raja Ampat is the ultimate but the most remote and demanding logistically, so we often sell it as the second trip once divers are hooked. We match the region to certification, logged dives and budget.
How do marine-park permits and fees work?
Protected waters like Komodo and Raja Ampat charge conservation fees and require entry permits, with ranger fees in some parks. We arrange and pre-pay them before arrival and itemise them on the quotation, so divers never lose a morning to a permit queue and partners see exactly what conservation costs. The fees fund the reef protection that keeps these sites world-class, so they are a cost worth paying and one we never bury inside the rate.
Can non-divers come along?
Yes, and we program them deliberately so a dive trip works for a mixed party. On a resort file the non-divers get snorkelling, the Komodo dragon trek, beach time and excursions; on a liveaboard, snorkelling over the same reefs and time aboard. The Gilis, Bunaken and Komodo suit mixed groups best. The whole point is that a couple where only one dives, or a family with mixed interests, still has a trip that works for everyone rather than splitting the party.
What certification do the demanding sites need?
Komodo's strong currents and Raja Ampat's depth and conditions are best for Advanced Open Water divers with a decent logged-dive count and recent currency — not a place for a rusty or brand-new diver. We confirm certification cards and currency at booking, build in a refresher or check-out dive where it is thin, and steer newer divers to gentler regions like the Gilis. Matching the diver to the site is a safety standard we hold firmly, not an upsell.
When is the best time to dive each region?
Komodo, Bunaken, Lembeh and the Gilis dive best in the April-to-October dry season, with calm seas and good visibility. Raja Ampat runs on its own calendar — the best window is roughly October to April, when seas are calmest and the biodiversity is at its peak. We schedule diving into the right window for the region and around the tides that drive current and visibility, and steer date-flexible divers to whichever season fits the region they most want.
