Tiger Blue
The ultimate sea safari across Komodo, Raja Ampat, and the Banda Sea.
The Experience
A Day Aboard Tiger Blue
From the moment you step on board, no day is typical except for the hours of relaxation. The dive team heads out early for the first site while others take a kayak along the shoreline or stay on deck with coffee and the view. By mid-morning, the chef has laid out breakfast at the main deck dining table and the day belongs to whoever wants it.
Afternoons might mean a second dive, a hike to a Komodo dragon viewing point, a visit to a traditional village, or nothing more than a bean bag on the top deck. The crew sets up sunset cocktails on board or around a beach bonfire, and dinner is served under a canopy of stars with tales of the day's adventures.

Technical Specifications
Dive Operations
Tiger Blue is owned by a company with a long-standing track record as a dive resort operator. That operational background is what guests feel on board: the dive deck is laid out for fast turnarounds, equipment is stocked for the full guest complement, and the crew works the dive schedule around the conditions, not the timetable. Dawn and night dives run when the site rewards them.
Accommodation
Five Cabins, Three Configurations
Five ensuite cabins in three configurations. The family suite at the bow has a king bed plus two twin beds, suited to a couple with children or a group of up to four friends. Three king cabins offer flexibility for couples or twin configurations. One dedicated twin cabin completes the layout. All cabins carry individual air conditioning, hot-water rain showers, and Tiger Blue's own line of eco-friendly toiletries.
The sense of space is what guests notice first. The main deck dining area, the aft lounge with its own table and seating, four sun loungers on the top deck, and bean bags throughout give everyone room to spread out. For a 34-meter vessel carrying twelve guests, Tiger Blue feels uncrowded.
