Best of Borneo Recap
One of the highlights of September was the Borneo dive expedition aboard the luxury liveaboard, Arenui. A group of adventurous Ocean Safari divers traveled to Indonesia to explore the reefs around islands and atolls rising up from the Makassar Strait. It was a nice mix of coral garden diving, wall diving, drift diving, hook diving, whale shark diving, and muck diving. We also visited sea turtle sanctuary and helped releasing baby sea turtles.
We were so pampered during the trip. The boat is beautiful and the crew are always so happy to help you with anything, including donning and doffing the wetsuit. When you come back from a night dive, they will greet you with hot coco and warm towel. They also offer massage and laundry service. It is a full service liveaboard like no other.
The trip album is now on our website. Check out the cool photos!
The next Arenui in 2026 trip is full, but there are spots open on the 2027 Forgotten Islands trip. Check the trip details on our website and act fast if you want to secure your spot! Arenui trips book up very quickly.
