The Boat

Malaillo is a beautifully crafted wooden Phinisi dive boat, built by skilled traditional boatmakers with generations of knowledge in this craft. Blended with the beauty and tradition are cutting-edge navigation systems, advanced security features, and top-tier rescue equipment. It is also one of the few dive boats in Indonesia that offers a dedicated dive deck. This provides ample space for divers to prepare, easily access the tenders, and stow gear after each dive.
