The Ambai Indonesian liveaboard features eight boutique cabins, each with individually controlled air conditioning and ensuite bathrooms equipped with hot water.
For photographers, there is a dedicated room for maintaining and preparing their cameras.
The spacious dive deck at the rear of the main deck provides easy access to the dive platform, which can accommodate all three dive tenders simultaneously.
The MV Ambai’s crew of 18 is committed to delivering exceptional service, handling tasks such as loading and unloading heavy diving equipment, so guests can focus on enjoying their dives. Complimentary towels and toiletries, including soap, shampoo, and toothpaste, are provided.
The MV Ambai, a vessel custom-built for diving, commenced operations in July 2012.
This 32-meter wooden boat, constructed from Ironwood and other tropical hardwoods, is designed to offer a top-tier liveaboard scuba diving experience for up to 16 divers in maximum comfort.
The air-conditioned restaurant on the main deck doubles as a briefing area for divers before each dive. A large flat screen is available for photographers and videographers to showcase their work at the end of the day.
Additional common areas include an indoor lounge, expansive shaded deck areas, and a sundeck.
