Ambai is a premium Indonesian diving liveaboard operated by Wallacea Dive Cruises, a specialist liveaboard operator exploring Indonesia’s top dive regions since 2002. Built specifically for scuba diving, Ambai is designed for divers and underwater photographers seeking remote reefs, rich marine biodiversity, and expedition-style comfort across Indonesia’s best marine regions.
Ambai blends traditional Indonesian wooden boat craftsmanship with a layout created around liveaboard diving. The onboard experience is practical, comfortable, and dive-focused, with shared social spaces, shaded relaxation areas, indoor lounge areas, and support for photographers and videographers after a day underwater.
Life on board Ambai is centred around diving, comfort, and attentive service. Guests can expect briefings, relaxed communal dining, indoor and outdoor lounging, and a crew-led rhythm that lets travellers focus on the ocean, photography, and rest between dives.
Ambai is best suited to certified divers, underwater photographers, and adventurous travellers who want to explore remote Indonesian waters by liveaboard. Non-diving moments may include island scenery, beach time, kayaking-style leisure activities, and relaxed cruising through remote archipelagos, depending on the route.
Ambai operates across Indonesia’s iconic dive destinations, including Raja Ampat, Komodo National Park, Banda Sea, Forgotten Islands, Triton Bay, Halmahera, and Sulawesi. These regions are known for biodiversity, remote reefs, pelagic encounters, soft corals, island scenery, and expedition-style liveaboard access.
