DAMAI II
MY DAMAI II has a deck length of 40 meters and a beam of 9 meters at its widest point. It has been built to an uncompromising standard and fitted out with all the latest diving, navigation and safety equipment to ensure that the level of service appreciated on our first vessel is maintained and, where possible, improved upon. The new vessel is slightly larger than the first ensuring three large outside deck areas with an outside dining facility, our famous massage and spa treatment area and plenty of extra lounging and sunbathing space. The crew to passenger ratio will be the same as our first vessel and we hope the new systems will ensure an even more enjoyable cruise for both our returning and new guests.

The below deck accommodation has been designed to accommodate single or twin occupants in a level of luxury not seen on another vessel in Indonesia. Each cabin boasts a private shower and head with a queen-size bed and a separate day bed. The cabins measure approximately 20sq.mts (225 sq.ft) each and have been finished with the highest quality furnishings. The stern staterooms are over 400 sq.ft each and boast their own private deck with loungers, a super-king size bed, day beds, two desks and ensuite shower and separate head.



THE DIVING

These jewel-like islands are caressed by a convergence of swift nutrient-rich currents. Here the pulse of marine life thrives from the sea floor to the surface where the kaleidoscope of corals can start in less than a meter of water. The experience of drifting along miles of exquisitely hued reef, brimming with activity, is breathtaking.

There are sites that are so pristine and packed with growth, that a photographer is hard-pressed to find a spot to place a steadying finger. Exotic sea life and macro critters abound of course, and photo opportunities border on overwhelming.

I've added you, Steve.  Which option are you thinking - 7, 11 or 18 days?

I may be interested. 7 day trips are inadequate for this area IMNSHO. 11 days good, 18 awesome but maybe out of my budget.

Just realized the 18 day trip is merely a 7 day plus the eleven day. Guess I'd stick with an eleven day . . .unless you were to do two 11 days back to back, Heehee.

I'm watching this topic and I'm interested. It's a long way to go so I'd be trying to combine it with a side trip...to Bali maybe. My timeshare actually has an opening at a spa the week before. because it's so long away I'm having trouble searching air routes to that part of the world. For now I'll just keep watching and talk to you in Fiji.

Yes, color me interested as well. As posted in the SAVE THE DATES thread, I may be working with a marine conservation group in the area next season ...  :)

 

Given the amount of time I hope to be spending in the region, I'm probably interested in doing the 7-day trip but that may depend on the area that the boat is scheduled to visit.

Can't make the schedule work for that...but 18 is a great run for those who can do it! You know there will be spots you wanna repeat and this is the only way to do it. When we did back to back Galapagos trips the 2nd one was better because you knew what to expect and how to best prepare. This will be EPIC!!!

 

Just realized the 18 day trip is merely a 7 day plus the eleven day. Guess I'd stick with an eleven day . . .unless you were to do two 11 days back to back, Heehee.

The Damaii II got their a/c fixed! Heard so many positive things about this boat. I would be interested depending on the route for the trips snd would like to see Crendawashe Bay (spelling?) Included. 18 days won't be enough to dive Raja :)
