Diving Adventures in Indonesia: Aqua One

Aqua One brings a new dimension to the prospect of live-aboard diving in Southeast Asia. With a length of 35 meters and a beam of 6.5 meters, she was specifically designed and built to accommodate a party of up to 16 divers in the comfort of 8 staterooms.

From November through to May of each year M/Y Aqua One operates in the Andaman Sea which is recognized as being home to many of the world's top dive sites. She cruises Thailand's prime diving destinations from Red and Purple Rocks, Koh Phi Phi and Koh Ha Yai south of Phuket, north to the Similan Marine National Park, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock and Surin Marine National Park. Extended trips are also made to Myanmar's Mergui Archipelago, the Burma Banks and India's remote and pristine Andaman Islands. During the months of June to October Aqua One is based in Bali for cruises to visit some of Indonesia's top dive destinations - Komodo National Park, Rinca, Flores, Alor and more.

Guests will find complete facilities for the serious and discerning divers ranging from roomy dive deck and easily accessible dive-platform, camera stations to automatic E-6 processing. Amenities and facilities include fresh towels daily, coffee/tea making station, individually controlled air-conditioning in each stateroom, and even shampoo, soap and bath-rope are provided.

The vessel is crewed by experienced local and international staff and her operations managed by people with long experience in cruise ships and hotel management who, needless to say, are themselves dedicated divers.

Accommodations:
Aqua One was conceived and built to meet the needs of a serious diver who demands a superior level of accommodation and lifestyle. She has been specifically designed for tropical living with air-conditioned and open-air lounges and a sun deck for guests to enjoy the fresh air of the tropical seas. A great deal of attention to details went into the design and construction of the staterooms and living areas to ensure that those on board enjoy a fine style of living. Aqua One's twin, 1250 HP Cummins engines effortlessly provides for flexible and extensive charter itineraries, allowing divers to fully experience some of Asia's finest diving in comfort and safety.
Aqua One has accommodation for 16 passengers in 8 staterooms. Two double and two twin cabins on the main deck, 2 twin cabins on the forward lower deck and 2 more twin cabins on the aft lower deck, all with private head and shower. All rooms are fitted with standard queen or twin sized beds, carpeted and tastefully furnished. Facilities include piped-in music, reading lights, wardrobe, hair-dryer and plenty of storage space.

Indonesia:
From June to October of each year M/Y Aqua One will move from Phuket, Thailand, to operate from Bali, Indonesia. Bali is one of the most geographically beautiful and culturally rich destinations in the world. It is also one of the safest and most politically stable regions of Indonesia. The island of Bali with its highly accessible international airport at Denpasar offers a convenient point of entry and facilities to embark and disembark from Aqua One.

"Nusa Trenggara", the latest destination, is the local name for a group of islands east of Bali, running from Lombok and Sumbawa in the west, to Flores, Alor and Timor in the east. Stretching over 800 miles, the 566 islands locate just a few degrees south of the equator. These dry islands are sparsely populated and less rich in flora and fauna than other parts of Indonesia. Offshore, however, the islands teem with life, supporting some of the world's richest reefs and marine life.

The 6 1/2 diving day’s itinerary, embarking and disembarking at Sape, aboard M/Y Aqua One is one of the best and most comfortable ways to dive and thoroughly explore this diving paradise that boasts uncrowded sites, healthy coral reefs, clear water and a diversity of marine life found in few other places. The itinerary also includes a half day foot safari to watch the Komodo dragons.
