    About This Vessel

    Amira is a 52-metre ironwood-and-teak Indonesian pinisi built in South Sulawesi between 2008 and 2010 for long-range dive expeditions. The technical accommodation data lists eleven guest cabins for up to 20 guests: four upper-deck double/twin cabins, five lower-deck double/twin cabins and two lower-deck single cabins. The operator's short boat overview still says 10 cabins, but its detailed cabin page, technical data and current booking schedule all support the 11-cabin configuration used here.

    All nine double cabins can be arranged as double or twin beds. The upper-deck cabins are about 13 m²; the five lower-deck doubles are about 14 m²; and the two lower-deck single cabins are about 11 m² on the detailed cabin page, while the technical page lists 8 m². Every cabin has an ensuite bathroom, a fan and individually adjustable air conditioning.

    Dive operations use an 80 m² covered dive deck with individual stations, a 15 m² camera room, three six-metre aluminium tenders, two high-pressure air compressors and an oil-free Nitrox compressor. Four professional dive guides lead groups of no more than five divers, and certified guests receive Nitrox without surcharge. The boat also provides ENOS GPS diver beacons.

    The verified starting price is based on the next available shared departure, 2–14 October 2026. The lower-deck double rate is EUR 5,146 per person, plus mandatory EUR 150 port and harbour tax, EUR 130 park and local fee, and EUR 580 distance fee. The EUR 6,006 total converts to approximately USD 6,995. Availability and fees must be reconfirmed for the selected departure.
