Operations Standards
4:1 as standard, tightening to 3:1 on photography charters — close attention and safe handling at the busy marquee sites.
Three guided dives come standard, with an optional fourth at dawn or after dark, called by the captain according to the tide.
AL80 by default. AL100 and steel tanks available with 30 days notice. Compressor isolation comes on the luxury and motor tiers.
A complete kit is on hand — regulator + computer + BCD + fins + mask + 3mm wetsuit — at $35/day per set, fitted to your size in advance.
Rinse tanks for cameras, a charging station and dry storage. The luxury tier adds a dedicated photo deck.
Oxygen plus a DAN Asia-Pacific contact, with an AED on the luxury/motor tiers. Crew are EFR-certified, and the captain coordinates any evacuation that is needed.
Tech Diving
Send your make/model, last service date and sorb spec 60 days ahead. A dedicated mixing station is provided on the luxury/motor tier.
Helium supply takes 75 days of lead time. It is not kept in stock in Sorong, so it is ordered specifically for your charter.
You will need redundant gas, a backup computer and dual SMBs, plus a signed solo-protocol acknowledgment. A surface watch and chase boat back you up.
Signature Sites
Strong current
Holder of the 374-species world record. Negative entry, then hook in on the corner for the show.
High current
A cleaning-station seamount where mantas, grey reef sharks and GTs hunt out in the blue.
Mild current
A reef-manta cleaning station that is easy enough for beginners. Best Jun–Aug.
Moderate current
An oceanic-manta cleaning seamount on a deep pinnacle. Best Dec–Feb.
Mild current
Three swim-throughs cut into a karst arch, with a soft-coral wall — a photographer favourite.
Tide-driven
A river-like channel running through a mangrove canyon, with unusual macro and light.
