Built, not bought.
Meridian Adventure Dive operates a fleet of five custom-built high-speed dive boats — a capability nobody in Raja Ampat can match. Designed for comfort, stability and range, they reach remote sites beyond the reach of conventional day boats.
A new kind of dive boat.
Purpose-built vessels that rethink the comfort and functionality of a dive operation from the keel up — the space, range and stability that make every transit part of the trip, not the price of it.
Groups can be segmented by experience, style or activity — beginners with a dedicated guide, advanced divers chasing deeper sites, macro photographers on the shallows, snorkellers exploring the islands — all departing and returning together, each with their own tailored day. Built-in redundancy means the operation never skips a beat.
Five matched hulls. So your dive day never depends on one.
A single boat is a single point of failure. We run five matched vessels — if one is pulled for service, another is fuelled and ready. You dive on schedule, every day, regardless of conditions, maintenance, or last-minute changes.
Twin Yamaha V6 4-strokes.
Dual 250HP outboards — 500HP total — deliver serious acceleration with ultra-low emissions and excellent fuel efficiency. Fast enough to reach distant sites with time to spare, and clean enough that the reef looks the same tomorrow. Electronic gauges and dual battery systems back them up, and a second engine means a mechanical fault never strands a group.
A full navigation suite, on every vessel.
Mast-mounted radar, VHF and AIS antennas sit on the forward roll bar, directly above the helm. Console equipment runs to a GPS chart-plotter, compass, autopilot, AIS and DSC VHF radio. We always know exactly where we are — and so does everyone else on the water.
Equipped for the worst day you’ll never have.
A comprehensive safety kit is carried on every charter: emergency oxygen, life jackets, a flare kit and fire extinguisher, plus a full pontoon repair kit, tool kit, double-action pump and paddles. Preparation you’ll likely never see — and would never want to dive without.
Military-grade where it counts.
Built from military-grade Hypalon with internally taped seams, seven inflation valves and seven over-pressure release valves.
Large-diameter tubes with three heavy-duty shark-fin rubbing strakes and a full-length grab line make for an exceptionally comfortable ride.
Fuel stored below deck in two tanks, with aluminium keel protection and two towing points for the unexpected.
Removable Sunbrella bimini, fold-up swim ladders and swappable cylinder racks or saddle seats — rig it for divers or for cargo.
We don’t harm coral.
We go above and beyond to ensure every dive is both exceptional and environmentally responsible — operational choices that are rare among dive resorts, and non-negotiable for us.
Guest-to-guide ratio
Up to four guests per guide — personalised attention, safer dives, and marine-life knowledge shared with every guest.
Mooring only
Every site is accessed via a mooring system. No anchor ever touches the reef — a simple rule that protects the ecosystems our guests come to enjoy.
Clean hulls
Conventional antifouling leaches chemicals into the water and accumulates in marine ecosystems. Our hulls carry no coatings — we keep them clean.
On airberths overnight
Every boat is lifted from the water when not in use. No hull sits in the marina, avoiding passive impact on the environment.
High-performance, clean
Yamaha V6 4-strokes are highly fuel-efficient and low-emission — fast to distant sites, clean enough to keep the reef pristine.
