The History of M.Y Oceanic

Crafted in 2012 with handpicked tropical timbers from Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo), Oceanic was acquired by the team in 2017 and underwent a complete renovation to tailor her for diving liveaboard cruises, incorporating insights gained over their 16 years of successful operation with Ondina. The boat’s abundant and spacious common areas make it an ideal choice for smaller groups, while its robust engine provides impressive speed for venturing into the eastern regions of Komodo, Flores, Alor, and the Banda Sea.

Living on Board

M.Y. Oceanic carried an upper-deck suite, a lower-deck suite and four standard cabins, all with double beds and top bunks, taking 12 passengers across six double AC ensuite cabins. Three gensets supplied 220 V power through two-pin European sockets.

Diving with M.Y Oceanic

Diving is typically carried out from the tenders. It is recommended that divers possess either an advanced certification or have completed a minimum of 50 logged dives. The crew will take great care in assessing the divers’ proficiency levels and planning underwater activities accordingly. Some dives run strong currents, so individual experience matters for the safety of the whole group.

On an average day, there are usually 3 or 4 dives scheduled. Night dives are offered almost every day, unless conditions or long sailing distances prevent them. Upon arrival, there is a check dive in the afternoon followed by a night dive. On the last day, two morning dives are scheduled to allow for desaturation before departing the following day.

Diving tanks and weights are provided for divers, while snorkeling gear and an introductory dive are available for non-divers.
