I've been with Pindito for almost 10 years and it is hands down one of the best choices for more mature and discerning divers.
If you've arrived on this page, the chances are you're a similar age to me; you may be resuming diving after a long break; have dived most of your life; or have qualified fairly recently.
Pindito is uniquely set up to accommodate small groups of divers with a diversity of skills but one common need: to be cared for exceptionally well.
I have seen divers of all ages and experience grow in confidence on Pindito and have the most wonderful time. It would be a great pleasure to welcome you on board.
Cheers,

There are many things that set Pindito apart from almost all other liveaboards in Indonesia.
We do have mixed trips which are great for dive-snorkel couples (see below). But if it's just diving you're looking for, you can enquire directly about any one of the 22 trips we do each year.
Either way, email me on simon@wildiaries.com or call +61(0)405 220 830 for more info.

Diving on board Pindito is perfect for divers who might be older, have special needs (e.g. bad backs), want to do fewer dives per day or simply wish to dive in a vastly smaller group! Even our most experienced divers (hundreds or thousands of dives) prefer the small groups.
Pindito is not simply a vehicle to go diving. It's a place where we can enjoy diving together. We go way beyond what most vessels provide, by providing individually tailored support and guidance.
If you have not dived for a while, we will offer a refresher. At no point will you feel obliged to keep up with others or to dive in conditions that are uncomfortable for you. Our guests are often overwhelmed by the level of personal care they get from our guides.
During your trip, we can also help you build your skills. You will be a better and more confident diver when you've finished travelling with us.
Divers hardly lift a finger on our trips and we prefer that you don't lift any heavy equipment.
Unlike most ships, we have four tenders and a maximum of four people to each guide. Having four tenders is essential for safety as we will always have the boats on site looking out for you. It also gives us flexibility in terms of where to go.
Most of the dive sites throughout eastern Indonesia are within a short distance of one another (or the same place).
A lot of the places we dive can be notorious for strong currents but we NEVER put you in a current unless you are comfortable with that and have the skill to manage it.
The fact is, the vast majority of divers want a 'walk in the park' and this means we will choose places and times that match your expectation and provide an enjoyable experience.
We can do this because we have a flexible itinerary. Unlike other boats that are locked into diving at specific times (due to maximising the number of dives per day), we do a maximum of 3-4 dives a day (fewer if we are doing some land-based activities or whale watching). We also have the most experienced dive guides in Indonesia with 30 years expertise. We know each site intimately and how to put you in the right place comfortably and safely.
