Welcome To DIVE DAMAI
Redefining the concept of liveaboards. Specialising in small groups receiving personalized service on purpose built traditional wooden schooners with a dive guide to guest ratio of 1 to 4. The most varied travel itineraries in the diving industry in the world’s best diving locations.
MY DAMAI I was built in Tanjung Bira, South Sulawesi, by Pak Hadji Baso, the most prestigious builder in the area. The collaboration of traditional skills with years of experience in the Indonesian liveaboard diving industry has created a remarkable vessel.
MY DAMAI I has been designed to offer a personal service that only a vessel of this size that is dedicated to small groups can provide. With an overall length of 40 meters (130 feet) and a beam of over 8 meters (26 feet) the vessel has 7 staterooms with a choice of single cabins, twins, doubles or two spacious master cabins. With sizes ranging from 18sq. meters for the single cabin to +40sq. meters for the master cabin, all are furnished with either queen or king sized beds, ensuite toiletts and showers. The vessel has been designed with three large deck areas for relaxing in both the sun or shade and for enjoying relaxing massage and spa treatments.
Specifically designed for divers, the vessel offers large dive stations with individual rinse tanks and a camera room with separate camera work stations with integrated 110v and 220v charging station for each photographer. The vessel is the first in Indonesia to offer a divemaster/guide to customer ratio of 4 to 1 ensuring the best service underwater as well as onboard.

A LA CARTE
Diving A La Carte is a new concept created by Dive Damai and directed to give the ultimate personal service.
Logistics permitting Dive Damai allows you to dive where and when you wish. It is their aim to bring you as much of the underwater highlights of the itineraries as possible. They do not set dive time limits, they do not tell you that you cannot redive a dive site, they will bend over backwards to fulfill your every wish to return to a location time and again.
But it’s not just the diving…
They aim to satisfy every desire. That means you have a menu choice, if you have any special food requests the Damai crew will do everything in their power to ensure your favourite foods are onboard. A La Carte reflects your freedom to choose and our desire to fulfill.
Diving has been the Damai specialty for the last few years. With a ratio of 4 divers to dive guide, the largest camera station, a personal rinse tank or unlimited diving among their main features, they provided un unprecedented quality of service for their diving guests.
The Dive Damai explore remote areas, where seldom others venture, searching for the unique combination of diving and adventure that they like to share with their guests. Throughout the year, Indonesia offers some of the healthiest reefs on the planet, and certainly the most diverse waters.
