    Seamore Papua

    Thirty-five tanks and a personal gear-up station for the whole cruise, equipment over finish

    Cruising Areas

    Raja Ampat

    Seasonal Sorong round trips cover central Raja Ampat, Piaynemo and Misool, with six- to nine-night departures and longer crossings toward Halmahera.

    Eastern Indonesia

    The annual schedule also includes Komodo, Alor, Ambon and Banda Sea, South Halmahera, Sulawesi and repositioning expeditions between regions.

    Who This Suits

    Suits: divers who want range and equipment over finish. Two Bauer compressors, 35 tanks, a personal gear-up station for the whole cruise, DIN and INT valves, 100 per cent oxygen on board, and a schedule covering five destinations including South Halmahera, which almost nobody else runs.

    Also suits: snorkellers and mixed groups. Snorkel excursions are briefed and guided separately by a dedicated guide rather than tacked onto the dive schedule.

    Less suited to: anyone wanting a luxury charter. She is a working dive boat with 18 guests in nine cabins, and the 2026 renovation went into Starlink, fuel and water capacity rather than into suites and jacuzzis.

    About This Vessel

    Seamore Papua is a 32-metre ironwood phinisi built in 2015 for dive and leisure cruises across eastern Indonesia. The operator’s current specification lists nine air-conditioned, ensuite cabins for up to 18 guests, spread across four decks.

    Five cabins sit on the main deck: one Master Suite with a double bed, one Master Cabin with a double bed and three twin cabins. The lower deck holds one double cabin and three twin cabins. All have wardrobes, remote-controlled air conditioning, freshwater showers and basic toiletries.

    The upper deck contains the restaurant, main kitchen and a sheltered open lounge, while the top deck is reserved for sunbathing and stargazing. The main deck also carries the dive area, with individual gear stations, camera facilities and access to two speedboats.

    Current operator specifications include Starlink Wi-Fi, 10,000 litres of fuel, 20,000 litres of freshwater, two Bauer compressors, 30 tanks, oxygen, AED, Garmin GPS, depth sounder, radio, fire extinguishers and two 25-person life rafts. Seamore Papua schedules Raja Ampat, Komodo, Banda Sea, Alor, Halmahera and exploratory crossings according to season.

      Vessel entry varies Assessed on the engine capacity of the boat, so it is normally settled by the operator rather than by passengers.
      • Booking runs through SIORA, the park's own system, and is handled by a licensed operator before arrival. There is no ticket window at the gate.
      • A daily cap of 1,000 visitors applies across the park, split between Komodo, Rinca and Padar and the dive sites around them.
      • Entry runs in sessions rather than all day, which is why a boat's arrival time is set by the park and not by the crew.
      • A drone permit is separate, expensive, and has to be requested well in advance.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How many cabins and guests?

      Nine cabins for eighteen guests. Five sit on the main deck alongside the dive area: one master suite, one master and three twins. Four are on the lower deck: one double and three twins. All have ensuite bathrooms, wardrobes and remote-controlled air conditioning.

      What was upgraded in the 2026 renovation?

      The equipment rather than the finishes. Starlink wifi was added, fuel capacity went to 7,500 litres, fresh water to 12,000 litres with a 240-litre-an-hour watermaker, and the tank count rose to 35 against two Bauer compressors. Older listings still quote 5,000 litres of fuel and 30 tanks.

      Do I need to bring a valve adapter?

      No. The tanks carry both DIN inserts and INT valves. Fifteen-litre tanks can be provided on request, subject to availability and a rental charge.

      Where does she sail?

      Raja Ampat from Sorong, Komodo from Labuan Bajo, Ambon and Banda Neira from Ambon, Alor from Mali airport, and South Halmahera. An exploration programme runs beyond those five.

      Is she suitable for snorkellers?

      Yes. The operator runs snorkel excursions with their own briefings and a dedicated guide who knows the sites and marine life, on the basis that the best dive sites are usually the best snorkel sites too.
