The Epica liveaboard's permanent home is Raja Ampat, where it accommodates up to 12 guests in 7 bunk-style guest cabins. At 24 metres long, the traditional fishing boat may not be the biggest in the area but definitely one of the fastest, getting guests to dive sites before they become crowded. The upper deck serves as a large lounge area where guests can kick back on bean bags and admire the incredible scenery around them. Western and Indonesian cuisine is served on board in a relaxed buffet style, where vegetarians and vegans are catered for. With almost 75% of the worlds known hard coral species found at Raja Ampat, divers will be in awe. Explore the north with 'King of the North', to encounter caves, blue-ringed octopus and manta rays. During 11 nights visit some of Raja's best site on 'Ultimate Clash of Kings' while 'Best of Dampier' travels the rugged wooden jetties in the thriving Indonesian Throughflow. 1,400 species of reef fish can be expected.
