Diving Freedom

Life aboard Wakatobi's Dive Yacht, Pelagian, is a mixture of the best divers can experience in the diving world: 5-star accommodations and amenities floating above the world's best most prolific marine environment. The yacht has been masterfully designed for diving safety, comfort, and convenience. Spacious dive-ready decks are complimented with ample seating, tables, dive briefing and equipment storage areas. Built in Norway as a 35 meter (115 feet) world-ranging motor yacht, Pelagian provides a secure and stable base for dive exploration. She cruises at 9 knots and has a range of over 8,000 nautical miles! Yet, unlike most dive live-aboards, Wakatobi limits yacht occupancy to ten guest divers per cruise. This ensures maximum comfort and the highest standards of service for each and every diver!

The Wakatobi dive yacht cruises through the islands of Binongko, Hoga, Wangi Wangi, and Buton -- offer exciting and varied dive environments. The cruise route is flexible to divers' marine life preferences, but is generally designed to offer guests an incredible sampling of wall, pinnacle, coral garden, drift, cavern, cave and muck diving! And since the Pelagian is a exploration dive platform, experiencing the best dive conditions is just a matter of moving the yacht!

Experience the Outer Reaches . . . .

Two, custom-designed, 18-foot, rigid-hull inflatable (RHIB) dive tenders with double 60 HP outboard engines whisk divers off to dive sites in comfort. The inflatables are designed for diver safety, comfort and convenience with stainless steel ladders to make it easy to get back onboard. Diving is exclusively done from the tenders allowing the crew to drop divers at the best entry points based on diving conditions. It also facilitates fast and efficient diver pick-up at the end of the dive. This eliminates the need for divers to find their way back to the Pelagian post-dive. Best of all, Pelagian crew fills tanks using whips from the main ship so there is no need to take dive gear off the tenders until the end of the cruise! The crew is also trained to provide 5-star camera treatment at all times - helping divers with dive entry and exit.

All dives aboard Pelagian begin with an expert dive briefing. Instructor-level and very experienced dive guides offer dive planning advice to ensure each diver has the best time possible. Each dive site briefing includes an overview of site topography, dive conditions, types of marine life found on the site, areas of particular interest, and safety reminders. These briefings are not meant to restrict diver freedom, but to help ensure all divers experience "the best" on each dive. Dive guides are focused on helping divers find specific marine life on their "wish list." Due to the diversity of marine environments explored, divers have ample opportunity to check off many of the rare and unique fish and invertebrate species they'd like to encounter!
