Indonesia is the biggest empire of islands in the world. Some islands are inhabited by people others are unspoiled with impressive nature. The volcanic archipelago is a spectacular blend of coral islands, beautiful beaches, rainforests, rice fields, and most of all friendly inhabitants.

The warm Indonesian seas are crystal clear and the visibility usually exceeds 30 meters during most of the year. Here one can discover a spectacular underwater diversity of hard and soft corals, abundant species of reef and pelagic fish, and turtles besides a kaleidoscope of fascinating underwater landscapes. Bianca offers access to innumerable extraordinary dive sites where you can experience exciting and breathtaking dives during your trip.

 For centuries Buginese schooners were used to sail the Indonesian archipelago carrying spices, rice, and people. Today we use our Buginese schooner Bianca -built in 1997 under Dutch supervision- to sail Northeast Indonesia and offering you the world's best dive locations.

The Bianca is fully equipped for diving expeditions up to 20 persons, based on full accommodation. Onboard you will find eight luxurious twin bedded cabins and 1 double and twin bedded cabin, all including airconditioning, private toilet and bathroom. A spacious recreation room with stereo and tv, two sundecks with lazy chairs and a cosy bar allow you to relax after the dives and during the evening.

Food connoisseurs and hungry divers will enjoy the variety of western and traditional buffets in our restaurant. The crew consists of gentile local inhabitants who will take care for housekeeping including laundry service. These services give you the opportunity, besides diving, to enjoy a nice and relaxed holiday.
