With almost 30 years of continuous service, Pindito’s crew is unrivalled in their knowledge and experience of the Indonesian magic that amazes both above and below the water.
Launched in the Banda Sea in 1992, Pindito quickly expanded routes to include Raja Ampat, Komodo, Ambon and Alor. Today, Pindito continues to thrive as the pioneer, exploring new areas and new dive sites, while developing and offering trips that are both unique and diverse.
Our eight cabins and common areas are comfortable and thoughtfully planned, and offer a relaxed yet professional setting for all activities. We cater for many levels of water lovers and strive to accommodate all types of adventures. Diving, snorkeling, whale and bird watching, paddle boarding andisland/cultural visits are just a sample of what Pindito offers. Photographers and videographers will appreciate the space and layout of the specially built and dedicated camera room.
Lovingly built by Swiss owner Edi Frommenwiler, Pindito is meticulously maintained with an impeccable safety record. Year on year upgrades and improvements keep Pindito at the top of her class as she continues to set standards with her smooth riding and stabilized hull.
We look forward to welcoming you on board the Pindito in the near future

AN ADVENTURE ALL ABOUT NEW DISCOVERIES This trip takes you from Sorong in Irian Jaya, through the Molucca Sea past Halmahera to Manado in North Sulawesi. The 650 nautical mile journey takes us through a range of different land and seascapes. The trip starts with a taste of the beautiful coral reefs of Raja Ampat. On the south coast of Halmahera we will dive walls and drop-offs with big fish action. The small islands off the west coast of Halmahera are home to great coral reefs. The end of the trip in North Sulawesi offers you pristine coral reefs, great fish life and spectacular critter diving in the famous black sand of the Lembeh Strait. A diverse trip with something for everybody! Pindito never has a set itinerary. We plan our trips and water activities based on weather, tides and currents. From our expertise and experience, we know the ideal sea conditions for all the best and famous sites and when to dive them. And of course we have the not so famous, and even secret, equally spectacular sites that only a few of us know about.
