The Indo Aggressor is a 16-passenger luxury yacht that features en-suite facilities and individual climate control. It is perfectly suited for diving the Komodo National Park and Bali year-round. There are several types of cabins, all equipped with private showers and AC units. The boat’s lounge area is perfect for some comfortable relaxing time, while the social areas, like the saloon, have a full entertainment system so anyone can enjoy watching the videos they shot or just a movie from the large selection. Internet is also available in this saloon. Scuba divers can enjoy a few dives per day, all while diving from two dive tenders.

Indo Aggressor Interior and Features
Indo Aggressor is a 38m (124 feet) long and 8m (26 feet) wide magnificent traditional wooden liveaboard. Set to explore the majestic beauty of the underwater world of eastern Indonesia, ensuring the guest’s comfort and satisfaction is the number one priority of all 18 crew members.
The liveaboard features three types of air-conditioned cabins: Twin Stateroom, Deluxe Stateroom, and Master Stateroom. All cabins have private bathrooms with toilets and hot water showers. In addition, they include individually controlled AC units, toiletries, dresser, kimono, bath and beach towels, portholes, and windows in Master cabins. All cabins are based on an quaint teakwood antique-style interior.
When it comes to entertainment and social activities, Indo Aggressor is again not leaving anything unplanned. The liveaboard offers TV/DVD, movies, stereo player and personal library. In the case when guests still prefer their computer, there is Internet onboard as well. And if that is not enough, a bar lined up with your favorite drinks and a lounge on the sun deck with plush chairs is always open, just to make one’s trip perfect.
The Seriousness in Dining
Very few liveaboards take their dining experience to the level Indo Aggressor does. To make sure divers are properly fed with all the proteins and energy they might need for their action-packed dives, the crew team is offering a diverse menu. Their phenomenal catering starts with mid-morning snacks. The fixed menu, buffet-style lunch and dinner, is served either in the saloon or at the main deck.
There are three dishes to choose from, all in addition with soup, salad and rice. The main meal dishes are usually from Asian, though sometimes from international cuisines as well. Breakfast and lunch are served as a comprehensive buffet. Soft drinks, coffee, tea, and 1 glass of wine are served with dinner. Snacks between dives are usually biscuits, fruits, and water. Beer, spirits and additional wine, on the other hand, can be purchased. Of course, any dietary requirements can be accommodated if the requirement is sent in advance.
The Photographer’s vessel
The Indo Aggressor goes to Komodo Park, one of the most picturesque places. While diving, you can see a variety of fish and splendid underwater landscapes. As you can imagine, this area attracts marine photographers from all over the world. Therefore, Indo Aggressor liveaboard has camera equipment that can be rented and used. The big camera table and the charging points will make any guest’s photo trip more comfortable and convenient.
