Lady Denok

Lady Denok is one of the best diving liveaboards in Indonesia. It was designed to take up to 12 guests in affordable luxury, and built by the masters of Phinisi boat builders in Sulawesi in 2014. All cabins have private bathrooms & independent air conditioning. The itineraries, team, and facilities all ensure a wonderful diving experience around the best diving locations of Indonesia.

At 28 metres in length and 7 metres wide, Lady Denok is a large boat for just 12 lucky guests. It’s always possible to find somewhere on board to relax alone, in couples or in groups. These communal areas include out on deck and inside the air-conditioned lounge saloon. Also, to maximise space on the boat, the diving is done from tender dinghies, although there is a dive platform at the rear of the boat as well. The food on Lady Denok is simply delicious. Diving is hungry work, and the team know how to make sure that everyone is well fed. Depending on the weather and your mood, you can eat in the comfortable lounge or out on deck while enjoying the stunning views.

There are three cabin types on Lady Denok. The ‘Deluxe Cabins’ can be twin share or have a double bed. There are two single cabins for solo travellers. And on the main deck there’s the master cabin which has more space, a large double bed and a huge window. All cabins are beautifully decorated with local wood panelling, and they all have independent air-conditioning and private bathrooms. Towels & toiletries are included, and a laundry service is available for a small fee.

Sailing all year, Lady Denok offers trips to the best dive locations in Indonesia. During the Komodo high season of May to September the boat is based in Labuan Bajo, and offers a variety of trip lengths into the Komodo National Park. Then from December to April, Lady Denok is at Raja Ampat, which offers some of the best diving in the world. And for the months between Komodo and Raja Ampat the boat sails across the Banda Sea, offering awesome trips to Ambon, The Forgotten Islands and more.

Between dives you can jump in one of the boat’s kayaks and explore the surrounding area. Or you may just want to chill out on the boat, such as on the outdoor bed or the sun loungers. If you want to watch a movie, read a book from the library or show your diving photos or videos, then the lounge saloon is the perfect place. Nitrox is available for certified divers. You can choose to pay ‘per tank’ or a ‘full trip package.’ The team of dive guides speak several languages including English.
