The Wunderpus, a traditional boat built from Ironwood and Indonesian Teak, offers modern safety features and a comfortable atmosphere for up to 8 guests, making it ideal for small group diving expeditions. It is equipped with a life raft, life jackets, a marine radio, GPS, fire extinguishers, and emergency oxygen, with a crew trained in Emergency First Response. The boat is powered by a robust 6 cylinder turbocharged engine and a 41KVH diesel generator, ensuring smooth sailing to prime diving locations at speeds of 7-9 knots. The onboard Bauer PE200 compressor, air conditioning, and electrical charging points ensure all guest needs are met, with a significant freshwater and fuel storage capacity for extended expeditions.
Accommodation on Wunderpus includes 4 air-conditioned cabins with private bathrooms and queen-size beds (with additional single bunks in two cabins), tailored for comfort and convenience. Guests can relax on two upper decks, outfitted with bean bags for lounging between dives, and enjoy sheltered moorings for overnight stays. Safety and enjoyment are paramount, as evidenced by the limited dive group sizes, segregation by experience levels, and well-maintained high-quality dive equipment. With experienced dive staff familiar with the Komodo region and its currents, Wunderpus aims to provide memorable diving experiences tailored to the guests’ experience levels, all while avoiding the crowds at popular sites to ensure an intimate encounter with marine life.
