MSY Damai

I'm thinking about booking on this boat for the coming summer because it's one of the few boats going somewhere other than Komodo. I know the boat has made its first few trips, and I'm hoping somebody here might have been on one of those trips and can tell me about the boat, the crew, etc.

We are booked for Christmas but I know the owner, cruise director and one of the diveguides (I have dived with them in previous trips) and I am really looking forward to it!

Yes, somebody please post a report, I'm booked on it too and want to hear all about it!

Camdiver has been on it, perhaps he can shed some insight

I've visited the boat. I don't like the look much on the outside, in fact I thought it resembled a fishing boat when I first saw it. However it's very nice inside. Well appointed and designed, with spacious rooms and a few had bathtubs.

I recently spent 4 weeks on Indonesia's newest liveaboard, MSY Damai, diving through Komodo and the Banda Sea.

 

I've just published a comprehensive review of the liveaboard itself, complete with photos and videos. I'll be doing trip reports on the actual diving in Komodo and the Banda Sea separately.

 

The review is here

MSY Damai Liveaboard Report | Dive Happy

 

If you can't be bothered to wade through the review, the summary version is- it's an awesome boat for photographers and it's super spacious too - there's a maximum of 8 guests. The main challenge is for Damai to maintain the standards it's set itself, as it's operating on a different philosophy to most other boats.

 

Hope the review helps

 

Cheers
