MV Panunee

One of the most prestigious and easily-recognizable diving cruise ships at the Komodo Islands is Panunee. This large boat was designed & built specifically for diving safaris around Southeast Asia. Divers come from all over the world to join Panunee’s diving safaris at the best locations around Indonesia. There is just the right balance of luxury & value. Guests can choose from double-bed cabins with private en suite bathrooms, twin deluxe, or studio cabins. All cabins have individually-controlled air-conditioning and there are lots of comfortable air-conditioned indoor and outdoor communal areas.

Panunee is a large, comfortable diving boat, and its size also provides safe & comfortable journeys in any sea conditions. Diving from a large liveaboard boat has no disadvantages at all for guests. There are motorized tender dinghies to pick divers up, and to transfer passengers to the islands, including excursions to visit the famous Komodo Dragons in their natural habitat.

The boat’s main deck is where the luxurious suite rooms look out across the bow and home to three deluxe rooms. On the lower deck there are five more deluxe rooms & two single cabins, which are ideal for photographers. The top deck is where guests sunbathe and enjoy evening barbeques. Towards the back of the upper deck guests will find the Andaman Multimedia Room (air conditioned) and the open-air lounge. Most meals are served down on the main deck, inside the ‘Similan Dining Lounge.’ The boat also has a camera station room for photographers to store, play with and clean their equipment.

Diving from Pannunee is safe, comfortable and enjoyable, mainly due to the boat’s design and the staff & crew. There is a huge dive platform, with lots of space to move around before or after a dive. Naturally, Nitrox is available, and there are plenty of rinse tanks for photographers.
