Day 2 - 10 - Onboard The Amira

Each day begins with a “light” breakfast before starting a site briefing for your first dive of the day. Via Amira’s large tender boats, dive groups will be dropped at the designated dive sites.
After the first dive you will return to the boat and dry off. There will be dry towels waiting on the dive deck. A full hot breakfast will then be served. After breakfast you will hit the water again for another dive.
Return to the main boat for a delicious lunch (either served buffet style or plated, usually 2 – 3 courses). After a little break to allow our food to digest, you will prepare for the third dive of the day. Afterward, there is usually a snack and hot beverage served (you will not go hungry on this cruise!), before you enter the water for a sunset or night dive, depending on the conditions and sites in the vicinity.

Dinner is a 3 – 4 course meal. The Amira can cater for most dietary requirements, with some notice.
Evenings are spent looking through fish ID books, chatting in the spacious lounge, or enjoying the night sky from the deck.

Day 11 - Final day of diving

Final day of diving with 2 scheduled dives – before sailing back towards the harbor in Sorong. You will spend the night onboard.
