It sails seasonally between Raja Ampat and Komodo. Trips to Triton Bay, Halmahera, Sulawesi or Banda Sea and beyond can also be planned upon request.

With 5 spacious and comfortable ensuite cabins, Teman can host up to 12 guests on board. Its crew of 10 endeavour to provide guests with the friendliest cruise atmosphere.

The dining room also acts as a large lounge area with beds and puffs, depending on your mood and needs. The whole area is surrounded by 180° open windows, allowing you to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful views throughout the cruise.

Dving operations on the Teman make use of the inflatable watercraft and 2 wooden dinghies. You'll travel from one dive site to another to discover the best places that the Indonesian Archipelago has to offer. Each of the 6 main destinations are unique and offer different underwater experiences and challenges. The Cruise Director and dive guides will be delighted to give you all the information you need before, during and after each dive. The dive deck is spacious and has a large table with 2 side benches to listen to briefings. There’s also a camera storage and charging zone at your disposal, as well as an outside shower and toilet. All rental equipment is well maintained and at your disposal. For those divers with extra energy, the boat provides paddle board kayak activities.

Specialized in scuba diving and leisure cruises, the Teman liveaboard offers you a unique opportunity to share the gems they have discovered during their 20 years of experience diving and sailing across Indonesia.

Located in the epicentre of the Coral Triangle, Raja Ampat is considered the most diverse marine region in the world and many experienced divers say it’s the best destination on the planet. These spectacular islands are a remote area where the variety and health of corals, fish and other marine creatures is staggering - both large and small. Endemic wobbegongs, epaulette sharks, blacktip reef sharks, oceanic manta rays, schools of trevallies and barracudas, bumphead parrotfish, turtles, jawfish, huge schools of fish, are all commonly encountered. The amazing macro life includes peacock mantis shrimps, soft coral crabs, shrimps, nudibranchs, pygmy seahorses, pipefish; new and as yet unnamed species are being discovered all the time. Raja Ampat has it all.
The Banda Sea deserves its reputation as one of the world's best dive regions and the Banda Islands never fail to deliver great diving on colourful and thriving coral reefs that attract hundreds of different species of fish. Dogtooth tuna and mobula rays, whales and dolphins, banded sea kraits, massive schools of fusiliers, there is an extraordinary variety of marine life and the sheer volume of fish life is astonishing. Ambon Bay is a centre for incredible muck diving and tiny critters. It is famed for its endemic Ambon scorpionfish, plus Halimeda ghostpipefish, spiny devilfish, rhinopia, waspfish, fingered dragonets, flamboyant cuttlefish, and a huge range of morays.
Dining onboard is a mix of Asian, European, and Indonesian cuisine. Meals are taken on the main deck in the open air or in the dining area.
