About The Liveaboards
From our home port of Benoa in Bali Kararu Dive Voyages operates two luxury liveaboard dive vessels, the KLM Sea Safari VII and the KLM Cheng Ho. Both of these vessels are traditional Phinisi schooners which have been extensively customized and equipped to comfortably suit long range live aboard scuba diving and underwater photography expeditions in the remotest regions of the Indonesian archipelago. The classic elegance of their solid iron-wood hulls and teak interiors combined with spacious and luxurious air conditioned cabins plus modern safety, navigation and diving equipment make these vessels the superior choice amongst liveaboard dive vessels in Indonesia.
Whether you join us on the KLM Sea Safari VII for your Raja Ampat cruise, or the KLM Cheng Ho for your Komodo cruise, you can expect only the best from your diving holiday aboard Indonesia's ultimate luxury liveaboard dive vessels.
