Diving on Calico Jack
Calico Jack is first and foremost a serious dive liveaboard — built for guests who want to explore Indonesia’s most remote reefs properly, with the time, space, and expertise to do it right.
Whether you’re logging advanced dives, continuing your training, or simply diving for the love of it, everything onboard is designed around safe, unhurried, high-quality diving.
Calico Jack offers a range of PADI-certified dive courses, depending on the trip type:
- Advanced Open Water (AOW)
- Enriched Air / Nitrox
- Private dive guiding
- Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) for guests trying diving for the first time
Beginner certifications such as Open Water Diver and Bubble Maker (kids) are offered on private Anne Bonny charters, where the itinerary can be fully tailored to the group.
Not everyone onboard needs to dive — and that’s intentional.
Non-divers are welcome on Calico Jack trips and can enjoy:
- Snorkelling in pristine reefs
- Kayaking and paddleboarding in lagoons
- Island visits and cultural stops
- Relaxed time onboard between dives
A dedicated tender follows the dive groups, ensuring safety and flexibility for mixed-experience guests.
Diving on Calico Jack is intentionally small-scale and well-paced.
- Small dive groups with a maximum 1:5 diver-to-guide ratio
- Two experienced dive guides plus a dedicated dive instructor onboard
- Flexible dive planning based on conditions and guest experience
- Multiple dives per day, with generous surface intervals
Our cruise director is a qualified marine biologist, adding depth and context to every dive — from identifying rare species to explaining reef systems and ocean behaviour.
Throughout the year, Calico Jack sails through four of Indonesia’s most celebrated dive regions:
- Raja Ampat – unmatched biodiversity, reefs, mantas, and fish life
- Triton Bay – vibrant soft corals and remote exploration
- Banda Sea – pelagic encounters, seamounts, and historic islands
- Cenderawasih Bay – whale sharks, calm dives, and rare species
Most trips are 11 nights / 12 days, allowing access to dive sites that shorter itineraries simply can’t reach.
Dining Experience Onboard
Life aboard Calico Jack is as much about the food as it is about the diving. Our onboard chef crafts delicious Asian fusion and international cuisine, using fresh ingredients sourced locally. Expect hearty breakfasts, light lunches, and gourmet three-course dinners served under the stars.
Highlights include:
- Daily buffets featuring fresh fish, meats, vegetarian options, and vibrant salads.
- Signature beach BBQ nights on remote islands — a Calico Jack tradition.
- A rotating menu of soups, curries, grilled meats, and creative desserts.
Vegetarian, vegan, or special dietary requests are happily accommodated with advance notice. Guests are also welcome to bring their favorite wine or spirits to complement the onboard selection of local and imported beverages.
Meals are a communal affair, stories are shared, friendships are made, and every dinner feels like a celebration.
Cabins & Comfort
Step below deck and you’ll find five beautifully designed cabins, each finished with hand-carved Indonesian woodwork and modern comforts. With space for just 10 guests, Calico Jack offers an intimate atmosphere that feels more like a private home at sea than a crowded dive boat.
- 2 Convertible Cabins — Flexible double or twin setup, perfect for friends or couples.
- 2 Double Cabins — Spacious retreats ideal for couples seeking privacy.
- 1 Twin Cabin — A cozy option for solo travellers or dive buddies.
Every cabin includes air conditioning, ensuite bathrooms with hot showers, fans for natural airflow, daily housekeeping, charging sockets, and storage space. Small details like provided hairdryers and power adapters ensure you’re never without the essentials.
Whether you’re unwinding after a day of diving or simply enjoying the gentle roll of the ocean, the cabins provide the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern convenience.
